Research direction
Start by inspecting the repository’s documentation and examples for how PAT tokens are configured. Determine the secure method the project should recommend instead of embedding a token in a file, then document that workflow and ensure examples do not encourage committing secrets.

Description
Isn't it generally a bad idea to include your PAT token in the file? Even if I am just putting it in for testing, seems ripe for accidentally checking it in to source control. What is the suggestion for a more secure method?
