Hi i cant seem to see any details if i wanted to authenticate to github, i suppose this functionality is not yet implemented

I'm not sure this is useful client side (private repositories ?), but you may find of interest in this : https://github.com/ajaxorg/node-github#authentication

the main use that comes to mind is increasing your rate limit from 60 per hour to 5000 per hour

from git hub :

We limit requests to 60 per hour for unauthenticated requests. For requests using Basic Authentication or OAuth, we limit requests to 5,000 per hour. You can check the returned HTTP headers of any API request to see your current status:

Ok, i see, but i don't think it's possible todo only with client-side, you need a server side script (or in an application) to get a token : http://blog.vjeux.com/category/javascript

i've tried with basic authentication with something like that :

Gh3.Helper.callHttpApi({
    beforeSend: function (xhr) { xhr.setRequestHeader ("Authorization", "Basic " + Gh3.Base64.encode("user:password")); },
    success : function(res){ console.log("SUCCESS",res)}
})

but it does'nt work

i see :/ i think im going to have to redo most of my code in a server side code that generates the pages. because 60 is just to low :)
