Hello,

Awesome tool!

It would be great if scanning/monitoring for public repos will not require GITHUB_PAT.

Hi @benner ,

Thanks, GitHub only allows 60 requests per hour for unauthenticated API requests, The tool will be more unstable while scanning the larger organizations without the PAT. Let me know your thoughts

For my case it's enough. Maybe this can be extra flag for this...
