**Step 4:** Select if you'd like to add an organization or a user.

**Step 5:** In the corresponding fields, enter:

* Your GitHub user name,
* Personal access token generated in GitHub with the steps documented [**here**](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token). Select the `repo` and `read:packages` scopes. `Repo` scope is required due to GitHub's limitations. You're still able to add public GitHub registries, too.
* And your organization’s or your user's GitHub name.

Only classic tokens are supported. Fine-grained tokens aren't supported yet.
