+## Sign in with GitHub
+
+In VSCodium, `Sign in with GitHub` is using a Personal Access Token.
+Follow the documentation https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token to create your token.
+Select the scopes dependending of the extension which need access to GitHub. (GitLens requires the `repo` scope.)
+
+### Linux
+
+If you are getting the error `Writing login information to the keychain failed with error 'The name org.freedesktop.secrets was not provided by any .service files'.`, you need to install the package `gnome-keyring`.

## How do I run VSCodium in portable mode?
You can follow the [Portable Mode instructions](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/portable) from the Visual Studio Code website.
- **Windows** / **Linux** : the instructions can be followed as written.
