@basicallydan Are you sure you can still use the code option? Can you provide a complete example? Because I'm finding that I can't..

@basicallydan @dwijnand - Yep seems code no longer works. A bug was reported in my library (https://github.com/tanepiper/node-gitio) and I can't get it to work with new urls (test pass because it's older urls that were set)
