If you need access to a different repository or an API that the `GITHUB_TOKEN` doesn't have permissions to, you can provide your own [PAT](https://help.github.com/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line) as a secret using the `github-token` input.
If you need to use multiple tokens in the same script, `getOctokit` is also available in the script context so you can create additional authenticated clients without using `require('@actions/github')`.
