can't find api token in Github

Question

I've just installed GitExtension. Everything is configured. When I click on "Clone Github Repository", It opens a dialog box titled "Github Configuration" with following input boxes: 1. User 2. Password 3. APIToken when I click on "Get Api Token" button, It takes me to my github.com profile. But there's no API key in there. I searched for an hour approximately, but couldn't figure out where to find it.

Note: It seems that GitHub recently changed their authentication method! I ain't sure what to do now. Any help would be appreciated..

Answer 1

API Tokens are not supported by Github anymore https://github.com/blog/1090-github-api-moving-on

You do not need the API Token to work with git.

It might be that GitExtension has not updated their authentication method. There is a command line Git tool for Windows, this will work: http://msysgit.github.com/
