## Environment Setup
This repository uses a `.env` file for configuration, including GitHub authentication.
### Loading Environment Variables
To load environment variables from `.env`:
```bash
source load_env.sh
```
This will export `GITHUB_TOKEN` and other variables from `.env` to your current shell session.
### Using GITHUB_TOKEN
The `GITHUB_TOKEN` can be used for:
1. **GitHub API calls**: Export it and use in scripts or API requests
```bash
source load_env.sh
curl -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user
```
2. **Git HTTPS authentication** (if needed): Configure git to use the token:
```bash
git config credential.helper "$(pwd)/git-credential-helper.sh"
```
**Note**: This repository is currently configured to use SSH authentication (recommended). The token is available for other GitHub API operations if needed.
