patch file

Ghub is a library that provides basic support for using the Github REST (v3)
and GraphQL (v4) APIs from Emacs packages. It abstracts access to API resources
using only a handful of functions that are not resource-specific.

Ghub handles the creation, storage and use of access tokens using a setup
wizard to make it easier for users to get started and to reduce the support
burden imposed on package maintainers. It also comes with a comprehensive
manual to address the cases when things don't just work as expected or in case
you don't want to use the wizard.

Ghub is intentionally limited to only provide these two essential features -
basic request functions and guided setup - to avoid being too opinionated,
which would hinder wide adoption. It is assumed that wide adoption would make
life easier for users and maintainers alike, because then all packages that
talk to the Github API could be configured the same way.
