This PR allows an user to set a Github access/bearer token to authenticate against the Github API. Increases the request limit from 60 to 5000 requests per hour. When playing around with shim providers I reached the limit relatively fast. For me it was not even going away after several hours - adding an auth token fixed it.
Avoids this error:
HEAD: 403 Forbidden {"message":"API rate limit exceeded for 37.xxx.xxx.xxx. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"}
