Hello, I think this is a great piece of code, but I cannot get it to work: I'm always getting a 404 Not Found

Yeah I do too, could it be that something in the Github API changed in the past 2 years and broke it?

Only works if the source repo doesn't require a password. See how line #18 doesn't use the password variable?

hey! sorry it took my years to respond. This script got moved to https://github.com/IQAndreas/github-issues-import and evolved
