### 🗂️ Active projects > ⚠️ This plugin requires a personal token with public_repo scope. The *projects* plugin displays the progress of your profile projects.
Because of GitHub REST API limitation, provided token requires `public_repo` scope to access projects informations. Note that by default, projects have progress tracking disabled. To enable it, open the `≡ Menu` and edit the project to opt-in to `Track project progress` (it can be a bit confusing since it's actually not in the project settings). ![Enable "Track project progress"](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_projects_track_progress.png)
💬 Create a personal project on GitHub On your profile, select the `Projects` tab: ![Create a new project](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_projects_create.png) Fill the informations and set visibility to *public*: ![Configure project](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_projects_setup.png)
💬 Use repositories projects It is possible to display projects related to repositories along with personal projects. To do so, open your repository project and retrieve the last URL endpoint, in the format `:user/:repository/projects/:project_id` (for example, `lowlighter/metrics/projects/1`) and add it in the `plugin_projects_repositories` option. Enable `Track project progress` in the project settings to display a progress bar in generated metrics. ![Add a repository project](/.github/readme/imgs/plugin_projects_repositories.png)
