Description
We used to use GitHub's tokens, but they seemed to have withdrawn them.
Checking their docs now, though, it seems you can create "personal access tokens" via https://github.com/settings/tokens/new which can be used in basic HTTP auth in place of a username and password: https://github.com/blog/1509-personal-api-tokens
So, if that still works, we should change the documentation to suggest creating a token (and listing the minimum access requirements - at a cursory glance it would appear the minimum we require is:
repo, public_repo, repo:status, read:repo_hook, write:repo_hook
Looks like this should be easier than I thought - it provides a way to avoid dealing with the horrible hell-spawned clusterfuck that is OAuth, which is kinda nasty for web apps and next to useless for non-webapps.
