Yes, it really would. Unfortunately the github library that I am using does not export this information, so I can't. Here's the bug about that: https://github.com/fpco/github/issues/8 Note that github-backup will record failed requests, and retry them first next time it's run. This should mostly let it recover from being rate limited. > It would be great if I could specify some login credentials for Basic > Authentication or OAuth.

I'm not sure what info I would need to preserve in github-backup to be able to set do this. Seems I would need to cache the last time I asked for every item. -- see shy jo
