Common errors

Run: pip install ghscard

error Could not find a GitHub token. Set GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable or pass --token. ↓

cause GitHub API token not provided.

fix

Set environment variable: export GITHUB_TOKEN='your_token'

Warnings

deprecated Python 2 support dropped in v0.4.0; ghscard may still work on Python 2 but no longer tested. ↓

fix Use Python 3.5+

gotcha GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable is required for higher API rate limits; without it, anonymous requests may fail after a few calls. ↓

fix Set GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token before running the CLI.

breaking Removed 'dev' extras_require in v0.5.0; installing dev dependencies now requires specifying extras manually. ↓

fix Use pip install ghscard[dev] if dev extras are needed (but they were removed). Check setup.py for alternatives.
