# Github

Github's API rate limits to 60 requests per hour, which you may hit if you are doing frequent upgrades. To get around this, create a free personal access token on github.com:

* Profile Icon (top right)
* Settings
* Developer settings (at bottom)
* Personal access tokens
* Tokens (classic)

Once you have created it, place it in `~/.qi/profile`:

**Linux / Mac :**

```
export GITHUB_TOKEN=12345678
```

**Windows:**

```
$env:GITHUB_TOKEN = "12345678"
```

and source the file.
