GH_EMAIL_TOKEN exists in env but it's ignored

Hey @paulirish long time no see. 👋🏼

Just took this for a spin but it appears to be ignoring the GitHub token:

$ echo $GH_EMAIL_TOKEN 
ghp_{REDACTED}

$ npx github-email zeke

Email on GitHub
   Github requires authenticated API requests to retrieve the email. See: https://git.io/vxctz
   To enable, open https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?description=github-email …
   Keep the checkboxes unchecked, hit 'Generate token', copy the token, then run this in your shell:
       export GH_EMAIL_TOKEN=<token>
   You'll also want to add that line to your shell configuration (e.g. .bashrc)

Email on npm
null

Emails from recent commits

Emails from owned-repo recent activity

$ npm i -g github-email
$ github-email zeke

False alarm! Never mind! PEBCAK.

I was doing GH_EMAIL_TOKEN=ghp_foo instead of export GH_EMAIL_TOKEN=ghp_. So it was showing up in my shell but unavailable to the script.
