Working with two-factor authentication #450
Conversation
As mentioned in github API:
```
In addition to the Basic Authentication credentials, you must send the user's authentication code (i.e., one-time password) in the X-GitHub-OTP header.
```
And we will be able to use it like this:
```
const github = new GitHub({
username: 'ddimitrioglo',
password: 'xxxxxxxxxxxx',
otp: '888999' // <= One-Time-Password
});
let me = github.getUser();
me.listRepos((err, repos) => {
console.log(repos);
});
```

@clayreimann @CodyGramlich any idea how we would run tests on this? Seems like it may not be doable? Does GitHub provide any service you're aware of that would make testing possible? |

@j-rewerts I think to add tests for this we'd have to create a test user, set them up with OTP, and then commit the secret/salt/QR code/whatever so that we could use something like [this library][opt-lib] to generate the OTP during tests. (That library is not a specific recommendation, just doing a quick search to see if there is likely to be a library that will work) Thinking a bit more, we might need to have the configuration specify a callback that returns a current OTP value. |

It seems like it could be possible. I'll sit on this for a bit and try to get something workable together. |
