Update Github channel with 2-factor authentication

[iamnewton]

I have 2fa set up for Github right now and it denied me authorization to use the channel. I was able to get around that by setting up an app token. I'd suggest either adding support for 2fa or updating the README with what settings are necessary when creating an app token.

I might have to look into the app token method.

This would definitely be helpful.
@chrisopedia could you briefly describe what you did to create the app token and get it working?

[iamnewton]

@hahla have you figured out the app token?

Which github scope(s) does one need to enable for the access token? I enabled read:org, read:public_key, read:repo_hook, and notifications, but I'm getting "Received an HTTP status code indicating failure" error message.

I got same error as above comment

Same here

@jimvanderveen I just enabled all of the read options except for gpg and things are working fine.

Thanks @seanwash

I'm facing the same issue but can't get it to work with any of the token permissions. The console log indicates that Feeds is trying to access https://github.com/{user}.private.atom and gets a 404 for that.

Is that the correct URI to lookup the private repos these days?
