 4. Enter your GitHub username in the appropriate field

  Is a GitHub API token required

No… Although it is recommended, especially if you wish to have the cache timeout
set to a low value, or if you require regular access to the GitHub API through other
areas of your website.

Easy to use and a nice design, thanks! I didn’t need the API key when using a cache
timeout of 30 minutes, which is great.
