Thanks @theamericanaccount π What "public" api calls or command operations are you looking at specifically? also yes it is intended for most things to require login, but we definitely have commands that are excluded from that requirement. For example we did so recently with extension installation in #13176 Command examples would be good.
Please open a support ticket for that one. Myself and the CLI maintainers don't have much knowledge about such platform things. |

Yeh, unfortunately, the GitHub API has extremely aggressive rate limits for unauthenticated usage (60req/hour per IP) and our position for a long time has been that we don't want to set people up for failure. I dunno @BagToad, this is another example of someone swapping I'm converting this to a discussion btw since it's not got an actionable request right now. |

Hello,
Last year I've integrated this program into the Gur, an utility used to manage Ur universal recipes on git repositories hosting services such as Github and Gitlab as I didnt feel I wanted to write yet another API client, as I find it pretty frustrating as an activity as API can more or less change at any time without necessarily informing its users.
I've successfully been using the program to perform various calls upon sign-in (with an access token) but when last week one of the containers the recipes use for CI seemingly broke by itself (as its currently managed by a third party), the program hasnt been able to detect anymore the
GH_TOKENvariable from its environment, so that I've discovered that apparently the program is not able to perform some public API calls without signing in.So nothing, while I've also configured the
gurprogram to usecurldirectly too, I was wondering if it's intended thatghworks like that and if not, whats the correct way to configure it to not use any access token for public calls, if writing an empty configuration file or just putting whatever as the value for the token.Also, while it's certainly off-topic, but since this program seems to be managed directly by the Github stuff, I wanted to know if it's correct, as I've been hinted on a Stack Overflow question, which now somehow has been deleted (i think because it was a controversial question), that paying customers can directly ask Github staff to relax the 100MB file limit on a per-repository basis, like it happens for example with the Chromium repository, which includes such a file on a 2012 or 2013 commit if I remember well.
I hope just asking these questions wont cause trouble to me or to the Github organization I belong.
