update all your repos with an MIT license

github.py

"""
Description: 
I am using this script to add an MIT license to the Github repositories (master branch) of my personal github account. 
It first get the lists all repositories from a personal github account, and then add an MIT license to each of them. 
To exclude some repositories, I am using the variable ```repo_to_skip```
To use an explicit list of repositories, I am using the variable ```repo_list```

MIT license details used: 
Year: '2018'
copyright holders: 'Juniper Networks, Inc. All rights reserved'

requirements: 
pip install pygithub3

usage: 
python ./github.py
