API rate limit exceeded error? about seurat-wrappers HOT 2 OPEN

To resolve this, you can follow the instructions provided in the error message:

1. Create a Personal Access Token:

Use the usethis::create_github_token() function in R to create a Personal Access Token (PAT). This token will be used to authenticate your requests and grant you a higher rate limit.
2 .Edit R Environ:

Use usethis::edit_r_environ() to open your .Renviron file. This is a configuration file that allows you to set environment variables for R.

3. Add the Token as GITHUB_PAT:

In the .Renviron file, add a line that sets your Personal Access Token as an environment variable named GITHUB_PAT. It should look like this:

makefile
Copy code
GITHUB_PAT=YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
Make sure to replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN (PAT) with the actual token you generated.
PS: A PAT typically looks like a long string of alphanumeric characters.

4. Save and Restart R:

Save the .Renviron file and restart your R session for the changes to take effect.
After completing these steps, try running the remotes::install_github() command again. It should now use your Personal Access Token for authentication and should not encounter the rate limit issue.

I was able to install SeuratWrappers after these steps..
