How to create an authinfo.gpg encrypted file with a GitHub token

[John Stevenson]

Hello everyone,
I would like to store a GitHub personal access token in a file called
~/.authinfo.gpg so that the token is not stored unencrypted on my
computer.  This file would be used by Emacs to talk to GitHub via its API.

I have never used GnuPGP before, although I have gnupg2 installed on Ubuntu
Linux.

After many searches, I have not found any information on how to do this.  I
am looking through the documentation on the https://gnupg.org/ website, but
its unclear where to start reading.

Thank you
John
