It's currently in Settings -> Developer Settings -> Personal Access Tokens -> .. It would be nice to suggest which permissions are actually needed as there are many possibilities. (But then it would be nice if upstream mentioned this too :) : To backup a single repository: : : $ github-backup <organization> -N <repo regex> --all -o <output dir> \ : -t <oauth token> This would be <user> not <organization> wouldn't it?
