# Adapted and fixed from https://gist.github.com/josh-padnick/fdae42c07e648c798fc27dec2367da21

# This is an adaptation of code I wrote to download a private binary from GitHub. Such...pain.
# Why can't GitHub just offer a standardized URL you can download a release binary from and attach
# your Github Personal Access Token as a header?
#
# Since this code is an adaptation it hasn't been directly tested, but the code it was adapted from works
# and hopefully you can get the missing piece you're after by looking here.
