I'd rather not 'hard code' anything. That's just begging for a security breach. Option B is the clear winner here.

Option B is definitely the way to go. Storing the access token with GitHub encrypted secrets is much more secure.

I disagree, hard coding the access token in the repository with Base64 encoding is not secure at all.

Hah, hardcoding the token? What is this, the 90s? GitHub secrets all the way, folks!

I don't know, Option C seems like a good compromise. An environment file in the repo is still pretty secure, right?

Option D is a terrible idea. Hardcoding the token, even with Base64 encoding, is just asking for trouble. Go with B.
