Sure! See below for a bit more info - and thanks for the interest.

There is no real handling of http error codes coming from the APIs. You can see how certain messages are explored here: https://github.com/brian-bot/githubr/blob/master/R/githubRest.R#L21

And an example (in tests) how it would be more formal to handle errors here: https://github.com/brian-bot/githubr/blob/master/tests/testthat.R#L18
