gist_auth function

Authorize with GitHub.

This function is run automatically to allow gistr to access your GitHub account.

gist_auth(app = gistr_app, reauth = FALSE)

Arguments

• app: An httr::oauth_app() for GitHub. The default uses an application gistr_oauth created by Scott Chamberlain.
• reauth: (logical) Force re-authorization?

Details

There are two ways to authorise gistr to work with your GitHub account:

• Generate a personal access token with the gist scope selected, and set it as the GITHUB_PAT environment variable per session using Sys.setenv

  or across sessions by adding it to your .Renviron file or similar. See https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use for help

• Interactively login into your GitHub account and authorise with OAuth.

Using GITHUB_PAT is recommended.
