## FAQ
Since GitHub allow to make only 50 requests without authentication it's recommended to run this scrip with key `-t [your 16 digit token]` that you can easily **[generate here](https://github.com/settings/applications)**.
So, if you got error like this:
>! /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/github_api-0.12.2/lib/github_api/response/raise_error.rb:14:in `on_complete': GET https://api.github.com/repos/skywinder/ActionSheetPicker-3.0/git/commits/89678f7d7f66873c858e6cb07bf697192aca6768: 403 API rate limit exceeded for 195.88.177.9. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.) (Github::Error::Forbidden)
Then you have to generate this token or wait for 1 hour
