You can create a GitHub access token directly within Xcode to connect your project to your GitHub repository.

Steps:

  1. Open Xcode: Launch Xcode on your Mac.
  2. Go to Preferences: Select "Xcode" from the menu bar and click "Preferences."
  3. Navigate to Accounts: In the Preferences window, select "Accounts."
  4. Add an Account: Click the "+" button at the bottom left corner to add a new account.
  5. Choose GitHub: Select "GitHub" from the list of account types.
  6. Sign In: Enter your GitHub username and password.
  7. Create a New Token: Xcode will automatically generate a new access token for you.
  8. Grant Permissions: Xcode will ask you to grant specific permissions to the token. Choose the necessary permissions for your project.
  9. Copy and Paste: Copy the generated access token and paste it into the appropriate field in Xcode.

Note:

  • Xcode typically generates a new access token for each project.
  • You can always create new access tokens with different permissions for different projects.
