Can't link app to repo Github

Hi,

I'm new to Servicenow, and i'm trying to link an app to a repo Github.
I have this message : "Repository authentication failed, check credentials. Make sure the user has both read and write access".

As shown in screenshots, I created my Credential towards Github, with a valid token.

I'm wondering a few things :
    - is it normal than the password in the field, after updating credential, is shorter than the token length ?
    - is the user name important when using a token ?


I specify than two factor authentication is not enabled in my Github account.

I also tried with "normal" authentication (user name and password), doesn't work neither.

I, please, really need help on this.

Yes, this worked for me. Using a basic auth 

  1. Configure the New personal access token.
    Note: ServiceNow access
    Expiration: I used 30 days, so that should not be an issue
    Select scopes: repo
  2. Copy your token to keep in a secure location.

 

This is important as when I changed my password to my personal token, then it worked

When configuring a Credentials record to authenticate to source control, I entered my token in the Password field instead of my GitHub password.
