feat: allow ingesting private repositories via GitHub authentication

[Explosion-Scratch]

Use login with GitHub to allow fetching private repositories

[cyclotruc]

I plan to add this option at some point but not right now because I'd like to improve the functionalities on public repos before. Feel free to draft a PR for that if you have time, even if it's just a PoC

[VladStoyanovADP]

much needed!

[moebiussurfing]

+1 for this one

[cyclotruc]

Update: Implementing this option means dealing with user Github Tokens on Gitingest.com. This is a security concern that I take very seriously

So as of right now the feature is top priority and I'm doing everything I can to ship it securely soon. But any help on that matter would be greatly appreciated. Please reach out if you have experience with security: https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest?tab=security-ov-file#readme

there's a similar repo having this feature: https://repo2txt.simplebasedomain.com/ maybe you can pick some ide about the token handling.

It can be concerning for companies' private repositories , what do y'all think?

[phamhung075]

For company private repositories, I recommend running gitingest directly from the command line to ensure sensitive data remains secure. you need clone this repos https://pypi.org/project/gitingest/ then run gitingest /path/to/directory

if you have problem Error: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 22-24: character maps to <undefined> Aborted!

you can fix like that https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest/pull/72

With https://github.com/cyclotruc/gitingest/pull/69 I added this using PAT.

[giraudvalentin]

I use https://github.com/farouqaldori/aiformat for private repo, I like the filter feature to search files to select and keyboard navigation

It miss the token count mayne

[JulsdL]

I added a PR for adding support for private GitHub repository cloning with OAuth authentication. You can test it.

[nsancheznez]

may I work on this

[cyclotruc]

@nsancheznez Sure but we would need to discuss high level approach and architecture first since it has a lot to do with how gitingest.com is currently hosted

Let me know what you think, you can reach me at @yasbaltrine on discord Thanks a lot!
