Examples

 ## Not run: 

# First, set up your GitHub credentials using `usethis::gitcreds_set()`.
# Get a GitHub personal access token (PAT)
usethis::create_github_token()

# Give this token to `gitcreds_set()`
gitcreds::gitcreds_set()

# Now you can retrieve issues
issues_df <- get_issues("jhudsl/OTTR_Template")
# Alternatively, you can supply the GitHub PAT directly
# to the function to avoid doing the steps above.
issues_df <- get_issues("jhudsl/OTTR_Template", git_pat = "gh_somepersonalaccesstokenhere")
