This is an old revision of the document!
This note is only for managers of Git Winch.
The encrypted PAT that a manager receives from an owner can be used to create a repository or add/remove repository members. (Read about encrypted PAT here)
Once the owner sends the encrypted PAT to the manager (Separately, not via Git Winch… say as an email, etc) the said manager makes sure that the PAT API Token/Key is left empty. i.e. nothing should be filled there.
Instead, the manager can directly click any of buttons for creating a repository or adding a member or removing a member. Git Winch will notice that the PAT API Token/key is empty and will proceed to ask a series of questions to do the work.
When it asks for the Encrpyted API key, at that point, the manager should paste in the encrypted key that was obtained from the owner.
