  ...but not to download. You can clone a repo and download release artifacts without a PAT. That's only necessary for interacting with the API for actions that need authentication, which would be anything involving mutating a repository.

    Using the GitHub Docker Registry requires auth, even just for downloads. https://docs.github.com/en/packages/using-github-packages-with-your-projects-ecosystem/configuring-docker-for-use-with-github-packages https://docs.github.com/en/packages/using-github-packages-wi... GitHub Packages is different from GitHub Releases (and their artifacts) or cloning repos.

    Yes, you need one to download. Note that you'll get an auth prompt for this Registry API URL: https://docker.pkg.github.com/v2/test/test/test/tags/list https://docker.pkg.github.com/v2/test/test/test/tags/list > "code": "UNAUTHORIZED", "message": "GitHub Docker Registry needs login"

  GitHub access tokens are a bit of a nightmare since you can't limit the permissions for a token. Only workaround I've found is to create another GitHub user for an access token and restrict that user's access.
