create.github.context(api_url = "https://api.github.com", client_id = NULL,
  client_secret = NULL, access_token = NULL, personal_token = NULL,
  max_etags = 10000, verbose = FALSE)

`api_url`	the base URL
`client_id`	the github client ID
`client_secret`	the github client secret
`access_token`	the github access token
`personal_token`	the personal access token given by github via the /authorizations api
`max_etags`	the maximum number of entries to cache in the context
`verbose`	if TRUE, passes verbose() to httr configuration

If the environment variable GITHUB_PAT is set, then rgithub will attempt to authenticate using the value of that variable as a personal authentication token.

create.github.context stores the context last created in an environment. If any of the github API functions are called without a context, this context is used instead. (if no context has been created, an unauthenticated context will be created)

a github context object that is used in every github API call issued by this library.
