Example: use GitHub authentication with ribbity

ribbity-org/ribbity-docs#6

If you need to point ribbity at a private repository or want to retrieve issues faster using the GitHub API, you need to use GitHub authentication.

First, set github_username = 'username' in your config file, replacing username with your actual github username :).

Second, create a Personal Authentication Token (PAT) that has read access to your account, per the GitHub instructions.

Third, set the RIBBITY_GH_TOKEN environment variable to the value of the PAT, e.g.

export RIBBITY_GH_TOKEN=ghp_n317359259835nsdf7813rjdsfh1M

where ghp_ string is your PAT.

Now, when you run ribbity pull you should have access to private repositories and authenticated use of the GitHub API.
