Authentication

To authenticate with GitHub, the script uses a personal access token. Ensure that you have a valid token and set it in the token variable inside the script.

Using Environment Variable

You can also set the github_token environment variable, and the script will automatically use it.

export github_token= YOUR TOKEN 

To get an access token on GitHub, you can use the following steps:

1. Log in to your GitHub account.
2. Go to the settings page by clicking on your profile picture in the top right corner and selecting "Settings".
3. In the left sidebar, select "Developer settings".
4. Click on "Personal access tokens".
5. Click on "Generate token" button.
6. Give a name to your token and select the scope of the token (permissions it will have).
7. Click on "Generate token" button to create the token.
