+- **Go to VSCode and open the Meteoscientific folder**.
+- **Update the .env file**:
   ```bash
-  export GIT_TOKEN=your_new_github_pat
+  GIT_TOKEN=`your_new_github_pat`
+  ```
+  *(Obvi, replace`your_new_github_pat` with your actual token.)*
+
+---
+
+## 3. Verify the PAT
+- Use the following `curl` command to check if your token is working:
+  ```bash
+  curl -H "Authorization: token $GIT_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user
+  ```
+- You should see your GitHub user information.
