Use oAuth verified Github API to avoid the problem of excessive call frequency

Today I am going to develop a small tool that uses github Restful API to get all the issues in my repository:
After executing, I can see from the response header x-Ratelimit-limit that the Restful API can only be called 60 times per hour. I have already called it twice, leaving 58 calls.
From the header field x-ratelimit-reset, we know that if all 60 times are used up, it will take an hour to recover.
Fortunately, Github also supports oAuth authentication to call these apis:
The NUMBER of API calls made through this authentication method skyrocketed to 5,000 per hour, which was pretty sweet.
