github - Authenticating and Running a CL Program that uses GitHubAPI -


so i'm trying use library here https://github.com/joeyh/github-backup run cl using github-backup.

my problem keeps limiting requests since haven't authenticated github api. there way can authenticate , call program? far can tell program doesn't allow pass in authentication credentials.

from readme: "github-backup not log git, cannot backup private repositories."

that said, use different tool allow authentication. forked , updated previous (python, sorry isn't haskell) script use version 3 of github api , allows authentication. can clone fork here. if set git variables (i.e., git config ...) github.user , github.token, script handily pick them up. it's not best user experience, works.
