Is it possible to use an oauth-based thing instead? I don't know if github lets you do much with oauth, I'm just a little wary of storing my password in what would presumably be plaintext.
- googletron 14y agoAs soon as they implement a CLI based OAuth, I will definitely add it. I understand your concerns, but if someone has access to your machine your Github password is the least of your worries.

- mofle 14y agoWhy would you need that? You can just request a token[1] using the GitHub API on first load and then use that. I implemented that recently in Pulley[2], which is a GitHub Pull Request Lander.
