Add github oauth support for accessing private repos about volo HOT 5 CLOSED

If the volo config file is to be saved in the repo, that may not be a great idea to save the token there by default. Perhaps default to a file under $HOME/.

BTW, you can skip the web app step and just using the command-line (you'll need to prompt the user for their user/pass if you don't find GITHUB_USER/GITHUB_PASS environment variables).

curl -i -u "user:pass" https://api.github.com/authorizations -d '{"scopes": ["public_repo","user","repo"],"note":"volo"}'

Let the user know you aren't saving the username and password anywhere, and that should be fine.

@wilmoore I ended up integrating a github auth flow that does not require spinning up a web server, and does what you suggested for contacting the server. The github/auth module retrieves the token, and that token is stored in the home directory. The user also has the option to not save the token too.

So with that in place, then supporting access to private repos should be doable. I just need to test for getting an auth failure and try with getting the token. I will put this in the 0.2.4 bucket for consideration.

@jrburke That was a super-fast turn-around. Awesome.

:) It has actually been in since about 0.2.0, just have not bubbled it up for this use. Mainly used by volo-ghdeploy right now.
