| You can also create a token without a specific scope, which gives read-only access to public repositories, for testing. | ||
| This token is only used by Renovate, see the [token configuration](https://docs.renovatebot.com/self-hosted-configuration/#token), and gives it access to the repositories. |

@viceice let me know if this line is really useful, AFAIK it doesn't really explain anything 🤷

| The name of the secret can be anything as long as it matches the argument given to the `token` option. | ||

| Note that Renovate _cannot_ currently use [Fine-grained Personal Access Tokens](https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta) since they do not support the GitHub GraphQL API, yet. | ||
| The secret's name can be anything if it matches the argument given to the `token` option. |

That line was there before 🤷 .
My understanding of it is that, when using this GitHub Action, you can call the GitHub Secret however you want, as long as you pass it to the token input. E.g.:
- name: Self-hosted Renovate
uses: renovatebot/github-action@v41.0.12
with:
docker-user: root
token: ${{ secrets.MY_SUPER_RENOVATE_TOKEN_WITH_MY_OWN_NAME_YAY }}
