Token

Why do we need Github Token? Because this compilation and packaging process relies entirely on the GitHub platform, it is necessary to use GitHub tokens to operate these tasks. Github is an open platform where anyone can create an account and obtain permanently free tokens. Thank you very much for the free service provided by Github. Obtaining a token is also very simple. For those who do not have an account, first register a GitHub account, and then go to the personal center to create a token.

When using this software, please comply with relevant laws and regulations. If you use GitHub When using tokens in this project, the project will be flagged by default, and the compilation results of the project will be counted for success or failure, in order to improve the project and obtain feedback. Packaging is for personal use only and should not be disseminated or used for commercial purposes. The packaged resources will be stored in your own Github open source repository and can be viewed by anyone. Therefore, please strictly follow the Github usage guidelines, otherwise you will be responsible for any consequences.
