Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I want to push large files I need a personal access token. Creating that is no problem at all. To me it is just not clear what I have to put into the field in the ARCitect. Should it be the token content or the token name? Also, what rights does that token need? Usually I only ever give read_repository and write_repository permissions.

Describe the solution you'd like
More information about the right access token and what to put into the input field is needed.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I can always just use plain git and the terminal to upload my large files with a personal access token if there is no easy solution for this. I don't think this can be expected from users who are not that familiar with git though.

My problem is that I also don't know what has to go into the personal access token field there and what kind of permissions the token needs. Otherwise I would be happy to contribute to this.

Ah, I see.
I know that you are supposed to paste a PAT into the field "Personal Access Token (Optional)".
And I guess for upload you'll need a PAT with "write_repository" or "api" rights. And I would recommend to use an expiration date.

I know we need to paste the PAT, but does it have to be the PAT name (my_test_token_for_the_architect) or the PAT content that can only be copied once while creating the token (the generated letter and digit code)?
