### How to authenticate with a github token when publishing locally?

1. Get and copy a github token with access to public repositories (check in `public_repo`)
2. Set the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable to the copied token and run the Julia command as normal ([see this section for more details about publishing locally](#Can-I-publish-a-JLL-package-locally-without-going-through-Yggdrasil?)):
```shell
GITHUB_TOKEN="<40 characters of numbers and letters>" julia ... build_tarballs.jl ... --deploy=...
```

Note that this isn't specific to local deploying, but it's for whenever you need to authenticate on GitHub (there are multiple places where this is needed). I'd rather make this section more generic, with a link to GitHub documentation, and reference this section from where it's needed
