Drupal-project: Could not authenticate against github.com

[iainhouston]

OK it's only noise, but is there any way of preventing composer create-project drupal-composer/drupal-project:8.x-dev my-composer-project --stability dev --no-interaction producing loads of these authentication warnings (example below) as it tries the repo before the source and successfully installing the dependency?

` - Installing doctrine/instantiator (1.0.5)
Downloading: Connecting... Failed to download doctrine/instantiator from dist: Could not authenticate against github.com
Now trying to download from source

Does following https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/troubleshooting.md#api-rate-limit-and-oauth-tokens solve this problem?

Thanks @derhasi.

FYI I used the same Github OAuth token I use for Homebrew.

So, given I have export HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN="<my_secret_token>" in ~/.bash_exports;
I then do composer config -g github-oauth.github.com <my_secret_token> which causes composer to remember in ~/.composer/auth.json

Sorted!
