Creating a Fine-Grained GitHub Token for Copilot Metrics Access

   1. Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens → Fine-grained tokens.

1. Generate New Token

   1. Click on "Generate new token".

1. Token Expiration

   1. Recommended: No expiration for service/automated use.

   2. Or, set a custom expiration date if security policy requires.

1. Repository Access

   1. Set Repository Access to "Public Repositories".

   
2. Permission

   1. Under Account permissions, set:

      1. Copilot Chat→ Read-only

      2. Copilot Editor Context → Read-only

      
3. Generate And Save Token
