To resolve the 401 Unauthorized error when trying to access your private RSS feed with a personal access token (PAT), first ensure the token has the necessary permissions, particularly the repo scope for private repositories. If needed, generate a new token with the correct scopes. Format the URL correctly as https://github.com/your_username/private.atom?token=your_personal_access_token, replacing the placeholders with your actual GitHub username, repository name, and token, ensuring no spaces or special characters are included. Alternatively, you can use Basic Authentication by formatting the URL as https://your_username:your_personal_access_token@github.com/your_username/private.atom. Test the token in a browser or tool like Postman to confirm its validity, and check for any rate limiting that may affect access. Lastly, verify that the feed is set up correctly in your GitHub repository to ensure it's accessible.
