Enhancement: Optional GitHub token for `self-update` API requests
|
|
|
|
The `self-update` command used only unauthenticated GitHub API requests when
|
|
checking for releases. Shared IP addresses could hit the GitHub rate limit,
|
|
resulting in a 403 Forbidden error and preventing updates.
|
|
|
|
Unauthenticated requests remain the default, but authenticated requests are now
|
|
possible. Set the environment variable `GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN` to a GitHub
|
|
[personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) to avoid rate-limit
|
|
failures.
