Popup keeps asking me for my github username preventing code from running autonomously. #250

When I put my code in a look with a list of repos, a pop up periodically appears asking for my Github username. When I type it in the loop continues, but the popup makes it unreliable to use for many repos.

I am not sure if this is a bug or maybe a feature request, but from reading the docs I don't see a Github token mentioned anywhere. If the user could supply a Github access token that might solve the issue. I tried adding my credentials and token with gh auth login, but that doesn't help (the popup still occurs).

I am running on a Mac and Linux VM and I get the same result on both. Apologies if this is addressed somewhere and I just missed it.

Hi @rogerjbos,

Are those repos private? The reason why you can't supply a GitHub access token is because PyDriller is a Git framework (not GitHub). I suggest you clone the private repositories first -- think of a script making curl calls with your authentication token -- and pass the path to the local repository instead of the remote one. Does it make sense?

Hope that helps!

Ok. I understand now. I was just misunderstanding how it was meant to be used. Thanks for getting back to me.
