GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Gitextractor failing with multiple github tokens
<!-- Answer --> The error message indicates that the authentication method being used is outdated, as GitHub removed support for password authentication in August 2021. The gitextractor plugin supports authentication using personal access tokens, which should be configured correctly. When using multiple GitHub tokens, ensure that each token is from a different GitHub account, as tokens from the same account share the rate limit. The plugin selects the first token from a comma-separated list for authentication, so verify that the tokens are correctly formatted and separated <sup>[[1]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/config-ui/src/plugins/register/github/connection-fields/token.tsx)</sup>. Additionally, check that the tokens have the necessary permissions. For private repositories, the required permissions are `repo`, `read:user`, and `read:org` <sup>[[2]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake-website/blob/main/versioned_docs/version-v0.19/Configuration/GitHub.md)</sup>. If you are using fine-grained tokens, ensure they have read-only permissions for entities like `Actions`, `Contents`, `Discussions`, `Issues`, `Metadata`, and `Pull requests` <sup>[[3]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake-website/blob/main/versioned_docs/version-v0.20/Configuration/GitHub.md)</sup>. If the issue persists, consider reviewing the plugin's logging capabilities to diagnose authentication issues <sup>[[4]](https://github.com/apache/incubator-devlake/blob/main/backend/plugins/gitextractor/parser/clone_gitcli.go)</sup>. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To continue talking to [Dosu](https://dosu.dev), mention @dosu.* --- <sup>Help Dosu learn!
