   Hi there,

   The GitHub token is for accessing the API. Is it possible to access the API using the git_rsa? If so, I can add support for that. API docs are here: https://developer.github.com/v3/

   (Sorry, finals week and can't dig into it right this second)

   I haven't found a way to do this, however it doesn't mean there isn't.
   Hoped, you had investigated deeper before.

   Ok, therefore currently the only way to use plugin with raw token at work in more secure way is to encrypt token in gpg container and then read through system call.
   Something like this (lazy load for NeoBundle):

   if neobundle#tap('github-issues.vim')
     let g:gissues_lazy_load = 1
     let g:gissues_async_omni = 1
     " let g:github_upstream_issues = 1
     fun! neobundle#hooks.on_source(bundle)
       "" USE:(encrypt): printf '<token>' | gpg -eo '<path>.gpg'
       let path = expand('~/.cache/airy/gpg/github-token.gpg')
       let cmd = 'gpg --use-agent --quiet --batch --decrypt '.shellescape(l:path)
       let g:github_access_token = system(l:cmd)
     endf
     call neobundle#untap()
   endif

   However, I somehow caused old bug #120 to resurrect :(
   (Edit) Maybe, it related to way how my local credentials defined? See uppermost message.
   Hope you look into issue after finals. Good luck!
