If I set the token to expire in 7 days, will I need to do this process again in 7 days?

Do I use the same PAT on multiple computers? I have two laptops I use regularly when I am using R and I want to access the same projects.

A year ago, I relied on SSH to link RSudio to GitHub. I've got a long SSH key as well as an identifyFile ~/.ssh/id_ed255519. I also had to set up an SSH password. Do I need to reset this option using PAT instead?
Sorry for asking dumb questions. But navigating this Git process has been daunting for me.

No need to do anything with the SSH key you created previously. You can just use the PAT moving forward.
