Encountering error using Quick Start instructions

[dheater]

When I just run the Quick Start instructions from the README, I get the following error:

rdm pull config.yml > data/history.yml

Either the Quick Start instructions should use pip install rdm[svg,github] to pull in Github support or maybe the default config.yml shouldn't assume the GithubIssueBackend (if that's possible?)

It would be possible to update the default config.yml so that it doesn't use the GithubIssueBackend.

I can see arguments for and against doing this.

Arguments for:

• The default setup will keep the number of third party packages to a minimum (in particular, the default won't use pygithub)

Arguments against:

• GitHub is very popular, especially with open source projects, so it may be nice to have GitHub work well by default. Also, our current templates have a few places with GitHub hardcoded into them. (We will eventually change this though.)

I tend to think, for now, that updating the Quick Start instructions to use pip install rdm[svg,github] makes sense. @dheater what do you think?

I'm good with that
