I can ask this question in many ways, like How to configure Jenkins credentials with Github Personal Access Token How to clone Github repo in Jenkins using Github Personal Access Token
So this is the problem
The alternate solution that I am aware of
SSH
connectionusername
password
configuration in Jenkins. However,
use of a password with the GitHub API is now deprecated.But My question is how to setup Github connection with Jenkins using Personal Access Token
[UPDATE] The new solution proposed by git is
https://github.blog/2020-12-15-token-authentication-requirements-for-git-operations/
Which says:
Beginning August 13, 2021, we will no longer accept account passwords when authenticating Git operations and will require the use of token-based authentication, such as a personal access token (for developers) or an OAuth or GitHub App installation token (for integrators) for all authenticated Git operations on GitHub.com. You may also continue using SSH keys where you prefer.
What you need to do:
Basically, change the add URL as
https://<access token>@github.com/<userName>/<repository>.git
Something like this
https://<access token>@github.com/dupinder/NgnixDockerizedDevEnv.git
and set the credentials to none.

[OLD Technique]
After many discussion on multiple threads from Stackoverflow
I found one thread that is useful.
Refer to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/61104603/5108695
Basically
Personal access token
can be used as a password, as far as Jenkins
is concerned at least. I added new credentials to the credential manager.
Go to Jenkins
credentials
> System
> Global credentials
> Add credentials
a page will open.jenkins-user
or user
.Personal Access Token
in the password fieldNow start configuring your project.
So this is how we can configure or setup Authentication between Jenkins and Github using Personal Access Token
