Travis setup of Github token for jspm

jspm.travis.setup.md

If you encounter the following:

GitHub rate limit reached. To increase the limit use GitHub authentication.
     Run jspm endpoint config github to set this up.

Sources :

• https://github.com/jspm/jspm-cli/wiki/Registries
• https://github.com/travis-ci/travis.rb#installation

1. go to https://github.com/settings/tokens

2. Create a token , label it "Travis"

3. Copy paste the token

4. jspm registry config github

You'll be asked for the token

5. jspm registry export github

outputs:

jspm config registries.github.remote https://github.jspm.io
jspm config registries.github.auth JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN
jspm config registries.github.maxRepoSize 100
jspm config registries.github.handler jspm-github

JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN: unencrypted Base64 encoding of your GitHub username and password or access token

6. Install travis-cli

$ ruby -v
ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14 revision 40734) [x86_64-darwin12.3.0]

$ gem install travis -v 1.8.0 --no-rdoc --no-ri

$ travis version
1.8.0

7. Go to the root of your repo, encrypt the token your JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN

travis encrypt 'JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN=[JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN]'

outputs your ENCRYPTED_STRING

8. Include in your .travis.yml

env:
  global:
  - secure: [ENCRYPTED_STRING]

before_install:
- npm install -g jspm
- jspm config registries.github.auth $JSPM_GITHUB_AUTH_TOKEN

9. Optional

nano ~/.jspm/config

remove the registries.github part so that the token will only be used by Travis (not by you).

If anyone is getting 404 errors, don't forget to check public_repo scope when you create your github key.
