Allow Authentication to GitHub REST API to Avoid Rate Limit Issues

[joaoopereira]

Description:
Currently, our project interacts with the GitHub REST API without authentication, which subjects us to very low unauthenticated rate limits (typically 60 requests per hour per IP). This often leads to rate limit errors, when multiple users are active using the same public IP.

Request:
Please implement support for authenticating requests to the GitHub REST API using a personal access token or GitHub App credentials. This will significantly increase the rate limits (up to 5,000 requests per hour for authenticated requests) and improve reliability for all users.

I would second this. The usual strategy here would be to accept the GITHUB_TOKEN or something similar.
