Description

This function is run automatically to allow gistr to access your GitHub account.

Details

There are two ways to authorise gistr to work with your GitHub account:

• Generate a personal access token with the gist scope selected, and set it as the GITHUB_PAT environment variable per session using Sys.setenv or across sessions by adding it to your .Renviron file or similar. See https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use for help

• Interactively login into your GitHub account and authorise with OAuth.

Using GITHUB_PAT is recommended.
