Documented in gh_whoami

#' Info on current GitHub user and token
#'
#' Reports wallet name, GitHub login, and GitHub URL for the current
#' authenticated user, the first bit of the token, and the associated scopes.
#'
#' Get a personal access token for the GitHub API from
#' <https://github.com/settings/tokens> and select the scopes necessary for your
#' planned tasks. The `repo` scope, for example, is one many are likely to need.
#'
#' On macOS and Windows it is best to store the token in the git credential
#' store, where most GitHub clients, including gh, can access it. You can
#' use the gitcreds package to add your token to the credential store:
#'
#' ```r
#' gitcreds::gitcreds_set()
#' ```
#'
#' See <https://gh.r-lib.org/articles/managing-personal-access-tokens.html>
#' and <https://usethis.r-lib.org/articles/articles/git-credentials.html>
#' for more about managing GitHub (and generic git) credentials.
#'
#' On other systems, including Linux, the git credential store is
#' typically not as convenient, and you might want to store your token in
#' the `GITHUB_PAT` environment variable, which you can set in your
#' `.Renviron` file.
