How do I get an authorization token to use with this tool? #38

I'd prefer not to use my password on the command line with --password. Is there external documentation I can read about how to do this quickly and easily (not a developer guide for how to set up an app to do this)?

See here: https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/creating-a-personal-access-token

I will add a note to the README
