Step 1: Creating a Personal Access Token

To generate a new personal access token in ELITEA:
  1. Navigate to the Personal tokens Page:
    • Open the sidebar, select Settings, then choose Personal tokens.
Use the project dropdown at the top to switch between projects and manage project-specific tokens or settings.
  1. Create a New Token:
    • Click the + icon to create a new token.
  2. Complete the Token Details:
    • Enter a name for your token to help you identify its purpose.
    • Set an expiration date to automatically revoke the token after a given period.
    • Click Generate to create the token.
  3. Copy and Store Your Token:
Once the token is generated, copy it immediately and store it securely. The token value will not be displayed again after you close the pop-up window.

​
Step 2: Using a Personal Access Token

Personal access tokens are used to authorize API calls, extensions, or scripts. Here’s how you can use your token with ELITEA’s integrations:
  1. Select Integration Option:
    • From the Integration Option dropdown, select the desired LLM model or backend integration (e.g., gpt-4, gpt-4o, etc.).
  2. Download Configuration for Extensions:
    • Once you have selected the integration, the Download VS Code Settings and Download Jetbrains Settings icons will appear next to your token.
    • Click these icons to download ready-to-use configuration files for integrating ELITEA with the Alita Code extension in VSCode or JetBrains IDEs.
  3. Configure Your Environment:
    • Follow the Elitea Code Documentation for detailed instructions on adding your personal access token to your development environment.

​
Best Practices

  • Keep tokens confidential: Never share your token or check it into version control.
  • Use descriptive names: Name your tokens according to their intended use (e.g., “VSCode Integration”).
  • Set expiration dates: Regularly rotate tokens and set appropriate expiration.
  • Revoke unused tokens: Delete tokens that are no longer needed.
  • Use project-specific tokens: If you work across multiple projects, generate separate tokens for each project context.

​
Troubleshooting

  • Token not working? Ensure you are using the correct project configuration and the token has not expired or been revoked.
  • Lost token? If you didn’t copy your token, delete it and generate a new one.
  • Integration setup issues? Refer to the Elitea Code Documentation or contact your administrator.
