Enhancement: Allow Github personal access token to be specified for `self-update`
|
|
|
|
`restic self-update` previously only used unauthenticated GitHub API requests when checking for the latest release. This caused some users sharing IP addresses to hit the GitHub rate limit, resulting in a 403 Forbidden error and preventing updates.
|
|
|
|
Restic still uses unauthenticated requests by default, but it now optionally supports authenticated GitHub API requests during `self-update`. Users can set the `$GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN` environment variable to use a [personal access token](https://github.com/settings/tokens) for this effect, avoiding update failures due to rate limiting.
