# Set the URL for the file you want to access

# Make a GET request to the file URL with SSL verification
response = requests.get(url.decode(), headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {ghp.decode()}"}, verify='./certs/consolidate.pem')

# to get the cert, open github.com in Safari, open github and navigate to your private repo. 
# click on the lock icon on the next left of the address bar, click on Show certificate
# then select the Root CA, drag it to somewhere, then open terminal:
# `openssl x509 -in server.cer -inform DER -outform PEM  >> consolidate.pem`
# now you got the cert for verify


# Print the content of the file
print(response.content.decode())
