Basically Personal access token can be used as a password, as far as Jenkins is concerned at least. I added new credentials to the credential manager.

Go to Jenkins

• Go to credentials > System > Global credentials > Add credentials a page will open.
• In Kind drop-down select Username and password.
• In User put a non-existing username like jenkins-user or user.
• Add Personal Access Token in the password field

Now start configuring your project.

• source code management tab, select new configured credentials from Drop-down near credential Under Repository URL

So this is how we can configure or setup Authentication between Jenkins and Github using Personal Access Token
