 The easiest way to use this tool is via its GitHub Action, which you can add to your workflows. Here is what you need before you can start:
 
 * A GitHub repository with Code Scanning enabled and a few alerts. Follow [this guide](https://docs.github.com/en/github/finding-security-vulnerabilities-and-errors-in-your-code/setting-up-code-scanning-for-a-repository) to set up Code Scanning.
-* A GitHub `personal access token`, so that the action can fetch alerts from your repository. It might be sufficient to use `${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}`, which is a token that GitHub automatically generates for your workflows. If not, follow [this guide](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token) to obtain a dedicated token. It will have to have at least the `security_events` scope.
 * The URL of your JIRA Server instance.
 * A [JIRA project](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiraserver/creating-a-project-938846813.html) to store your issues. You will need to provide its `project key` to the action.
