    • FRAMEWORK PRESET: Other
    • ROOT DIRECTORY: Select the api/ folder
    • Environment Variables: In order for the API to know where to find your repository you need to set some variables.
      • GITHUB_TOKEN: Your generated token to allow the server to access your repository. GitHub new Personal Access Token. Make sure you enable repo
