NAME

       github-oauth - Generate GitHub OAuth2 token

SYNOPSIS

        github-oauth [note-text]

DESCRIPTION

       dpt github-oauth can be used for obtaining an OAuth2 token for authenticating to GitHub services without
       the need to enter your password on every request. The reason for this script is to allow you to populate
       the "DPT_GITHUB_OAUTH" setting in dpt.conf easily.

       An alternative method for obtaining the token is to use the GitHub web interface, Applications->Personal
       Access Tokens.

       The token obtained with this program is authorized only for reporting issues.

       The only supported argument, note-text, is a short note associated with the token. It is used for easy
       distinguishing different tokens and their purpose. If not specified, the string "pkg-perl-tools on host
       $HOSTNAME" is used, where $HOSTNAME is obtained via Sys::Hostname.

       The GitHub user name and password are prompted for and can't be supplied as command-line options.
