  "github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod-sdk-go"
  "github.com/gitpod-io/gitpod-sdk-go/option"

func main() {
  client := gitpod.NewClient(
    option.WithBearerToken("My Bearer Token"),
  )
  response, err := client.Runners.NewRunnerToken(context.TODO(), gitpod.RunnerNewRunnerTokenParams{
    RunnerID: gitpod.F("d2c94c27-3b76-4a42-b88c-95a85e392c68"),
