github credentials for rpi-update

Sat Sep 23, 2023 7:50 pm

After I test the latest rpi-update to ensure it doesn't break anything, I update all my other pi's (about 20). I would like to automate this, but git only allows so many requests in a specific time period. Is there any way to attach/insert my github credentials into the rpi-update command?
Thanks

Yes - use the GITHUB_API_TOKEN variable: https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update#github_api_token
