Hi.

I use GitHub and Sourcetree and I switched from using a simple username and password identification to work on my repos (which is now deprecated) to using personal access tokens. When managing a token in GitHub I can choose his scope. I'm not that familiar with all the options and don't want to give access to unnecessary stuff so I choose only "repo" and "delete_repo". But this token doesn't work when using it as a password in Sourcetree. If I create a token that give access to everything, now the token works.

So I clearly need to give at least some additional scope to my token than just the "repo" and "delete_repo" but I don't have a clue which ones. I did not find any documentation on this, which is odd.

Can you help me with that? Thanks.
