GitLab Integration: Using a Personal Access Token (PAT)

To authenticate GitLab as a source in dFlow, you need a Personal Access Token (PAT).
This token grants secure, scoped access to Git operations—without relying on your password.

How to Create a PAT in GitLab

1. Log in to your GitLab account.
2. Click your avatar (top-right) → Edit profile.
3. Navigate to Access Tokens in the left sidebar.
4. Click Add new token.
5. Provide the following:
   • Name (e.g., dFlow Integration)
   • Expiration date (default: 365 days; max up to 400 days if allowed)
6. Select the appropriate scopes (see table below).
7. Click Create.
8. Copy and securely store the token — it will not be shown again.

Recommended Scopes

Choose the least-privilege scopes necessary for your use case:
