Question
In which scenarios could the GITHUB_TOKEN be used? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)
- A. to create a repository secret
- B. to add a member to an organization
- C. to read from the file system on the runner
- D. to publish to GitHub Packages Correct
- E. to create issues in the repo Correct
- F. to leverage a self-hosted runner
Explanation
GITHUB_TOKEN is a repository-scoped installation token. With packages: write it can publish to GitHub Packages, and with issues: write it can create issues through the API. It cannot manage secrets or organization membership, because those need a personal access token or a GitHub App. Reading the runner's file system and using a self-hosted runner need no token at all.
