Authentication will be made via access token. To generate your personal access token visit https://github.com/settings/tokens.

NOTE: Never hardcode any credential information in the code. Always use an environment file to store the private information and use the os module to get the information during runtime.

Create a “.env” file in the root directory and write these two lines in that file with your token:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

export USER_TOKEN=””
