🔑 GitHub Token

There are 2 ways to pass GitHub token to ghacu:

1. Using --token parameter:

ghacu --token abc123 --repository "C:\Projects\business-card"

2. Defining GHACU_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable:

export GHACU_GITHUB_TOKEN=abc123
ghacu --repository "C:\Projects\business-card"

Program argument way takes precedence over the environment variable way. So the program looks at program argument first, if it's not present it looks at GHACU_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable and if it's not present as well then ghacu will work as unauthenticated user.
