��� Known Limitation: 60 requests/hour without token #9

Description

@esmaeilireza

��� Current Behavior

RepoScope uses GitHub's public API which has a rate limit of 60 requests/hour for unauthenticated requests.

��� Workaround

Users can provide a GitHub token via:

  1. Environment variable: GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx
  2. UI input in Advanced Settings

With a token, the limit increases to 5,000 requests/hour.

��� Future Improvements

  • Implement request queue with backoff
  • Add local caching layer for frequently audited repos
  • Consider GitHub App authentication for higher limits

��� Documentation

This is already documented in the README under GitHub Token (Optional) section.
