I would like to add the epel8 branch to my repository. When I try to, I get the following response:

fedpkg request-branch epel8

Could not execute request_branch: The following error occurred while creating a new issue in Pagure: Invalid or expired token. Please visit https://pagure.io/settings#nav-api-tab to get or renew your API token. For invalid or expired token refer to "fedpkg request-repo -h" to set a token in your user configuration.

When I visit the site it is not clear to me what I should do. Would someone please point me to the documentation for this ?

Well, the above tells you how to get the documentation. :) Run "fedpkg request-repo -h":

Request a new dist-git repository

Before the operation, you need to generate a pagure.io API token at https://pagure.io/settings/token/new, select the relevant ACL(s) and save it in your local user configuration located at ~/.config/rpkg/fedpkg.conf. For example:

[fedpkg.pagure] token = <api_key_here>

You need "create a new ticket" ACL as all this does is create a specially formatted ticket on pagure.
