Subject: wishlist: optionally use authentication for all operations
I've been using a VPN for all my network connections recently. Unauthenticated requests to GH are often blocked because of API limits (I'm sharing an IP with many other users/bots). It'd be nice to be able to use my token for all connections.

I have no idea how that's configured. If it's a setting on the git side, you should be able to set it in the .git/config in the repository and it will just work. Otherwise... patches welcome :)

This plugin already handles authentication, it just intentionally doesn't do it for some things like getting metadata. I'm just looking for flags to control that behavior.

Was this satisfied by PR #51?

Yes, that PR should have done the trick. Resolving.
