Question: Difference between GITHUB_TOKEN & PERSONAL_TOKEN about actions-gh-pages HOT 3 CLOSED

Thank you for the very detailed explanation.

from actions-gh-pages.

GITHUB_TOKEN secret

The GITHUB_TOKEN secret is a GitHub App installation token scoped to the repository that contains your workflow. GitHub creates the GITHUB_TOKEN secret for you by default, but you must include it in your workflow file in order for actions to use it. You can use the GITHUB_TOKEN secret to make authenticated GitHub API calls on behalf of an action.

We can use GITHUB_TOKEN by default without setting up. Currently, GITHUB_TOKEN works only on a private repository. See #9

We can use PERSONAL_TOKEN that is generated at Personal Access Tokens with repo scope. It works well on private and public repositories.

In the future, it is desirable to use GITHUB_TOKEN on all repositories. But the token has some problems with permissions between GitHub Pages and GitHub Actions. GitHub support team is investigating it and we are waiting for a good reply from them.
