I tried `git clone-fork dhellmann/hive` and received: ``` GET https://api.github.com/repos/dhellmann/hive: 403 API rate limit exceeded for <my IP here>. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.) [rate reset in 7m51s] ``` It would be nice if the API client used the authentication token from my ~/.gitconfig file.

Thanks, good idea - in my own testing I wasn't making enough queries to get throttled. Would you mind trying https://github.com/stbenjam/git-clone-fork/pull/4?
