Strange github rate limit on local deployment
I was really interested in check local deployment, actually I have already tried before and was working like charm, but suddenly i'm getting this github rate limit error when I try to run it locally(cloud deployment works)
There are anything I can do to solve that?

Not much option other than to wait! Looks like we should add support for setting a GitHub API token in an environment variable.
Longer term we can set up a CDN and host these there, but publishing them via GitHub releases is pretty darn useful. I think we said in that commit we'd stick to that until people started having issues, good to know that's happening.
Well an option would be to use a different IP, via a VPN or otherwise tunneling your traffic
It's fetch calls like these https://github.com/get-convex/convex-js/blob/6513ee9024cc756d126e287753b9e995596668f4/src/cli/lib/localDeployment/download.ts#L111 to GitHub that we need to optionally thread a header
token in if a process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN is available, if anyone wants to make a PR

Oh, thanks Tom!
Maybe something with my internet provider, cause I'm not even close of getting into the limit showing in the gh docs
Ill try with a vpn, thanks! o/
To the PR, the idea would something like a config to set the gh token from the cli and/or read from the .env?
Yeah, read from env, something like
process.env.GITHUB_TOKENim also running into this issue. Is there a workaround now?
how often is this fetched that i get limited? I just started the cli 3 or 4 times
I just added a workaround, what version of convex are you on?
1.26.1
Could you post the error you get the next time you see it? Either here or in a GitHub issue. I fixed what I thought was the most common version of this, but there's more to do. This is the one I fixed: https://github.com/get-convex/convex-js/issues/73
