After installing on Python 3.12.1 on macOS:

The README's installation seems to mention in passing:

You can authenticate against GitHub if needed using either an entry in your .netrc file, or by setting the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable.

Is there some more set up that's needed and can be explicitly called out?

[nedbat]

Ugh, this happens if you don't have a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable and you don't have a ~/.netrc file. I had thought the httpx library would be more graceful about a missing file.

[nedbat]

Fixed in 4bc57eb.

[hugovk]

Thanks, working now! (Installed from the repo.)

This is now released as part of watchgha 2.2.1.
