### 1. Create a GitHub Personal Access Token

41-
1. Go to [GitHub Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens)
42-
2. Click "Generate new token (classic)"
43-
3. Select these scopes:
44-
- `repo` (Full control of private repositories)
45-
- `read:user` (Read access to user profile data)
46-
- `actions:read` (Read access to actions and workflows)

1. Classic Personal Access Token (legacy)

1. Go to `GitHub Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens`
43+
2. Click `Generate new token (classic)`

46+
- `read:user` (Read access to user profile data)
47+
- `actions:read` (Read access to actions and workflows)

4. Notes: Classic tokens are broad — choose a short expiration and store the token securely.

2. Recommended: Fine‑Grained Personal Access Token (FGA)
51+
1. Go to `GitHub Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens > Fine‑grained tokens`
52+
2. Click `Generate new token`
53+
3. Under **Repository access** choose `Selected repositories` (preferred) or `All repositories` only if necessary
54+
4. Under **Repository permissions** set:
55+
- `Actions` = `Read` (analysis only). If you plan to run `--cleanup` to delete artifacts, set `Actions` = `Read & write` for the repositories you will modify
56+
- `Contents` = `Read`
57+
- `Users` = `Read` (only if the tool queries the authenticated user's profile)
58+
5. Set a reasonable expiration and create the token
59+
6. Save the token securely and export it as an environment variable (PowerShell examples below)

## 🐛 Troubleshooting

276-
### Common Issues
277-
278-
**"API rate limit exceeded"**
279-
- The tool includes built-in rate limiting, but with many repositories, you might hit limits
280-
- Wait and try again, or run the analysis in smaller batches
281-
282-
**"Repository not found or no access"**
283-
- Ensure your token has the correct permissions
284-
- Check that the repository exists and you have access
285-
286-
**"Access forbidden - check token permissions"**
287-
- Verify your token has `repo`, `read:user`, and `actions:read` scopes
288-
- For organization repositories, you might need additional permissions
289-
290-
**"No artifacts found"**
291-
- Repository might not have any GitHub Actions workflows
292-
- Workflows might not generate artifacts
293-
- Artifacts might have all expired
294-

### Getting Help
296-
297-
1. Check the GitHub API status: https://www.githubstatus.com/
298-
2. Verify your token permissions
299-
3. Try analyzing a single repository first
300-
4. Open an issue with detailed error messages
