homebrew GitHub API rate limit error ... why?
# Regenerated the API token, set it at the command line, added it to shell config scripts
shon@atlas ~> echo $HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN

shon@atlas ~> brew search json-c

Error: GitHub API rate limit exceeded for 107.192.237.60. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)
Try again in 11 minutes 19 seconds, or create an personal access token:
https://github.com/settings/tokens
and then set the token as: HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN
