Description

When scanning with --include-members, it will include scanning gists. It would be really nice to have the option to exclude gists as this could see your rate limit exceed the 5000 requests per hour limit which GitHub enforces.

Problem to be Addressed

Ignore scanning Gists to avoid GitHub rate limits.

Description of the Preferred Solution

--ignore-gists or --include-gists option

Hi @CameronLonsdale, thanks for opening this issue! I can see this as being useful. Can't make any promises when we'll get to this but we're happy review community PRs implementing this enhancement. I think this would be a good "first issue" for anyone out there who wants to contribute.
