+ [2020-01-26T15:14:47Z] cYnIxX3 Hello, I have an installer script that pulls installation data from github through git api calls with curl, some users add their git login info in order to install more than 30 times (installer uses 2 api calls per install.) Now I am getting a message that Github will "deprecate basic authentication using password" and that I should look into PAT. PAT is confusing me, is there anyone that can assist with 'curl --user gituser:gitpass'

+ [2020-01-26T17:56:24Z] jsatk Question. Is there a way to set a PR template on a repo? I’d like to prepopulate the description for my team to fill out. Right now we all kind of have our own style and template for PRs. I’d be nice to automate this and suggest a template when people open PRs.
