Full Explanation
To register a repository-level self-hosted runner, navigate to Repository → Settings → Actions → Runners → New self-hosted runner. GitHub provides a unique registration token and guided setup commands. The token expires after 1 hour and is single-use. For organization-level runners, go to Organization → Settings → Actions → Runners. Personal access tokens are for API authentication, not runner registration. Organization billing settings don't provide runner registration tokens. After initial registration, the runner uses a different long-lived token stored in the runner application's credential store.
