+ Access tokens used to access protected GitHub, GitLab, or
+ other locations requiring token-based authentication.
+
+ Access tokens are specified as a string made up of
+ space-separated `host=token` values. The specific token
+ used is selected by matching the `host` portion against the
+ "host" specification of the input. The actual use of the
+ `token` value is determined by the type of resource being
+ accessed:
+
+ * Github: the token value is the OAUTH-TOKEN string obtained
+ as the Personal Access Token from the Github server (see
+ https://docs.github.com/en/developers/apps/authorizing-oath-apps).
+
+ * Gitlab: the token value is either the OAuth2 token or the
+ Personal Access Token (these are different types tokens
+ for gitlab, see
+ https://docs.gitlab.com/12.10/ee/api/README.html#authentication).
+ The `token` value should be `type:tokenstring` where
+ `type` is either `OAuth2` or `PAT` to indicate which type
+ of token is being specified.
+
+ Example `~/.config/nix/nix.conf`:
+
+ ```
+ personal-access-tokens = "github.com=23ac...b289 gitlab.mycompany.com=PAT:A123Bp_Cd..EfG gitlab.com=OAuth2:1jklw3jk"
+ ```
+
+ Example `~/code/flake.nix`:
+
+ ```nix
+ input.foo = {
+ type="gitlab";
+ host="gitlab.mycompany.com";
+ owner="mycompany";
+ repo="pro";
+ };
+ ```
+
+ This example specifies three tokens, one each for accessing
+ github.com, gitlab.mycompany.com, and sourceforge.net.
+
+ The `input.foo` uses the "gitlab" fetcher, which might
+ requires specifying the token type along with the token
+ value.
