NOTE TO SELF

Reset Atom’s personal access token

Atom authenticationt to Github is through a personal access token. Personal access tokens (PATs) are an alternative to using passwords for authentication to GitHub when using the GitHub API or the command line.

To reset your personal access token open the Command Pallet from Packages | Command Pallet | Toggle.

Enter Github: Logout.

Remove git stored credentials on the device

Open Terminal and enter:

git credential-osxkeychain erase

host=github.com

protocol=https

Option 2: Open Keychain Access and locate the Github.com (Internet password) entry.

Remove Github.com (Internet password).

In addition, remove the following entries where present in Keychain:

• atom-github (application password)
• atom-github-git @ https://github.com
• atom-github-git-meta @ https://github.com

The above store the login identity and personal access token.
