+You need to create a personal access token for the target repository as [described here](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/managing-your-personal-access-tokens#creating-a-fine-grained-personal-access-token).
+Make sure the "Issues" permission is granted as "read and write" for the token.
+
+Pass the token to the tool via the `--auth-token` command line parameter.
