Add support for private repositories about rawgit HOT 6 CLOSED

Still no plans to support private repos. Especially now, since people have recently been trying to use RawGit to distribute malware. The last thing I need is malware hosted in a private repo that I can't see.

Good idea. I'll consider adding a special error.

Sorry, private repos are intentionally not supported because I don't want peoples' tokens flowing through RawGit (or the CDN). That's too much scary responsibility!

Feel free to fork RawGit and run a private instance that adds that functionality though.

Oh. But you could just display a warning once somebody pastes in a link with a token? No? That this is insecure. And aren't tokens per-file anyway?

Hm, you could at least display an error in this case. And not strange 404.

@rgrove Any plans for this?

Can we NOW access a private repo's raw file using private access token in url?
