Why does it need a PERSONAL access token, when it's just cloning a public repo?! This looks way more shady, than it seems to be (currently!).

The repo is public how about you check it first then come back. The access token is only used once and it remains on your local machine.

An access token is used to access the hithub API without rate limits, it enables passwordless authentication .

An unauthenticated user can only get 60 request as compared to almost 5000 using access tokens.

I'll address this in a future version which doesn't need an access token.
