We have used environment variable to store the GitHub Access Token and GitHub Username securely on your local system. To create one on a Mac, follow the steps below.
1. Create a new dotfile using touch ~/.dotfile_name and edit it to add export GITHUB_USERNAME="REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME" and export GITHUB_TOKEN="REPLACE_THIS_WITH_YOUR_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN"
2. Source it using source ~\.dotfile_name on your terminal and you're all set
NOTE:
Sourcing using source ~\.dotfile_name is only valid as long as the terminal session and gets deleted once the terminal is closed
Hence add source ~\.dotfile_name to your .bashrc and .bash_profile for it to be always valid.
