We already support using an application key from Github if you put it in the user name spot. We Just need to update the UI to not ask for username/password

Just put your personal token on username will resolve the problem.

@lunny I am not the person who opened this issue, but I can confirm putting you Personal Access Token into the username field will work for migrations from GitHub.
