Composer (PHP) get's around this by requesting that the user enters their GitHub credentials or generate an oauth token which is then stored on the system.

I know other projects in similar positions have done...something. Too tired to research right now.

We could always write and host a little reverse proxy, and point gps to that, of course... 馃槢

@jpudney yeah, i suspect something like that is probably going to be the path of least resistance.

I'd just have users create their own github api token.

homebrew brew search uses HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN

meaning at least some of your macOS users could possibly know how to do this already...

whew, old issue. we have mechanisms for allowing passthrough authentication.
