Only select repositories not Public repositories

[mgifford]

When defining the Repository access, I think you can't pick "Public repositories".

Trying to debug this, AI gave me:

The likely root cause: your fine-grained PAT is read-only for public repos when set to “All repositories”

Look closely at your PAT screen:

“All repositories … Also includes public repositories (read-only).”

Your repo mgifford/whisper-slides is public. If GitHub is treating “All repositories” as “read/write for private you own, but public read-only”, then the token will fail exactly where you fail: POST /repos/{owner}/{repo}/issues returns “Resource not accessible by personal access token”.

This matches your error.

ChatGPT recommended that I use Repository access: Only select repositories - and this worked.
