I received the following message this morning after sharing a script via github gist:

Hi @seandstewart,

You recently used a password to access an endpoint through the GitHub API using Pythonista3/320000 CFNetwork/1121.2.2 Darwin/19.2.0. We will deprecate basic authentication using password to this endpoint soon:

https://api.github.com/gists

We recommend using a personal access token (PAT) with the appropriate scope to access this endpoint instead. Visit https://github.com/settings/tokens for more information.

Thanks, The GitHub Team
