Using GitHub Auth Tokens with ghi

I'm using ghi to manage GitHub issues from the command line. ghi uses the GitHub API, which is HTTPS-only (not SSH), which means I cannot use my SSH keys to authenticate my ghi requests. GitHub is deprecating password authentication so authorization tokens are required; while this is more-or-less covered in the ghi docs, it isn't exactly clear.

Here's the simple, three-step recipe:

1. Go to the GitHub new personal access token page (you will need your GitHub password)

#!/bin/bash

# Searches the current directory for either all SELinux macro definitions or
# the SELinux macro definition specified by $1
#
# if $2 exists, there is a quoting error and we quit

if [[ ! -z ${2} ]]; then
    echo "ERROR: invoked with too many parameters, probably a quoting error."
    echo "USAGE: $0 [pattern]"
