API Support Broken #15

Closed jeremyjh closed 12 years ago

jeremyjh commented 12 years ago

The API token support was disabled: https://github.com/blog/1090-github-api-moving-on

Is it correct then that there is no way to use this application any longer? It seems the new API only supports oAuth, I don't know how that could work for client apps. Would love to hear otherwise though.

Hey, thanks for the report! To be honest I haven't used github-notifier in while now but I think access to the news feed is outside of the normal API and it should still work. If you go to the github home page you'll see a link to your private feed in the top right corner. The url will be of the form https://github.com/USERNAME.private.atom?token=TOKEN. If you put your username and the token from the url into your git config file then github-notifier should work. Does this work for you?

Ah yes, that does work thanks!

Cool, glad it worked. These instructions should probably be in the readme file. I'll make this change soon. Thanks again for bringing this up.
