+#### Job Token
+If you do not provide a PAT the [job token](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/jobs/ci_job_token.html) will be used.
+This restricted token can create releases but not read commits. The [git strategy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/configure_runners.html#git-strategy)
+must be set to clone so that we can read the commits from the repository. See example below
