fix for my issue was to not mention the commitish when creating a release where a tag already exists. the API docs say it ignores this field in the case where the tag exists, but it doesn't ignore it, it throws a vague exception.

Hi, from the API docs, an upload URL sent in response to creating a release can contain this: {?name,label} format substitution. I guess that's ?name=file.zip but what is this '{?name,label}' style of substitution called?

I need to fill out the state field in the oauth query, question is, if i generate a random number, and redirect to some other website, how do i remember the random number so that when i'm redirected back to the site I can verify the original against the given.

is it safe for the bearer token to appear in the urlbar? I set the callback to /login, so now in my history I can see /login?code=secretBearerToken.

in the github oauth flow, I've blindly accepted the need for the "state" variable to prevent certain attacks, but I'm not clear, who generates that variable and where should it be stored? So for example in an angularjs app where the app only wishes to authenticate the user, is it the clientside angularjs that should generate the nonce word, or should a call to a backend api be made, and stored
