Creating a GitHub Personal Access Token

To run this script, you'll need to create a GitHub Personal Access Token with appropriate permissions. Follow these steps:

1. Sign in to GitHub: Log in to your GitHub account.

2. Navigate to Developer Settings:

   • Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner.
   • Go to Settings.
   • In the left sidebar, scroll down and click on Developer settings.

3. Create a New Token:

   • Click on Personal access tokens.
   • Click on Tokens (classic), then Generate new token.
   • Enter a note for the token (e.g., "Update Forks Script").
   • Set the expiration period as per your needs (recommended: no expiration for long-term scripts).
   • Select Scopes:
     • Check the box for repo (this gives full control of private repositories) or just the scopes you need, such as repo:public if you only work with public repositories.
   • Click Generate token.

4. Copy the Token: Make sure to copy the token as you won’t be able to see it again.

5. Fork this Repo: Make a fork of this repo.

6. Navigate to Github Actions: On the left window see a Script click there and input your credentials and hit run workflow.
