Unable to create personal access token at gitlab.haskell.org
Hi all, In order to fetch and checkout a branch of my fork of GHC, I am trying to create a personal access token which I would use as a password at the command line. However, when I try to add a new token, the page hangs displaying a the "please wait" circle graphic. Does anyone know what might be wrong? Regards, Eric
Hi Eric, Why do you need an access token to check out and fetch GHC? I don't think you regularly do; best you clone GHC via SSH, but since your fork is public anyway, you should at least be able to fetch your fork without any access tokens. That being said, I will assume that the reason why you don't get an access token is that an XHR request failed due to Anubis, our spam protection. Usually that will resolve itself after doing a hard refresh of the page. If your issues persist, please share your user name and address me directly at this mail address so I can help you.

Hi Eric, Just to emphasize one of Magnus's points: check and make sure that your git remote is "git@gitlab.haskell.org:yourname/ghc". If it starts with "https://" then you might need PATs, and you probably don't want that. (https:// urls probably worked in more cases in the past. Now that all projects are internal by default, I suspect they require extra hoops.) -Bryan On Mon, 3 Aug 2026 at 13:47, Magnus Viernickel via ghc-devs < ghc-devs@haskell.org> wrote:
