Allow GITHUB_TOKEN as well as GITHUB_PAT

Open mpadge opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Some but not all R packages which use git credentials are hard-coded to expect tokens to be stored as GITHUB_PAT only. The official GitHub cli now only accepts tokens stored as GITHUB_TOKEN. GitHub should be granted the authority here to specify token nomenclature, so it would be good if GITHUB_TOKEN worked in all credentials processes.
