The rate limiting is dilibitating

curl https://api.github.com/rate_limit

{ "rate": { "limit": 60, "remaining": 13 } }

a request renders

{ "message": "API Rate Limit Exceeded for 84.81.198.20" }

Hey Pjotr,

In case you haven't been working on this one yourself, please assign me to it instead.

I think the solution should be a environment variable, say GITHUB_API_TOKEN, where the user can then store his application token string. The token would be sent in the header of the request: http://developer.github.com/v3/#oauth2-token-sent-in-a-header

That would be very helpful!
