"github_user": "<your-github-username>",
"oauth_token": "<token-you-created-for-bloom>"
}

Configure in your ``~/.gitconfig`` that your GitHub account and PAT are used for all release repositories under `ros2-gbp <https://github.com/ros2-gbp>`_:

.. code-block:: ini

[credential "https://github.com/ros2-gbp"]
username = x-access-token
helper = "!f() { test \"$1\" = get && echo \"password=<token-you-created-for-bloom>\"; }; f"

You can additionally use different GitHub accounts and PATs for individual release repositories:

.. code-block:: ini

[credential "https://github.com/ros2-gbp/my_package-release.git"]
username = x-access-token
helper = "!f() { test \"$1\" = get && echo \"password=<other-token-you-created-for-bloom>\"; }; f"
