Github is switching off their v2 api May 1. This is the version that all currently published versions of giter8 (and conscript) use so we are in for some breakage.
I just made a first pass at converting to v3 and things seem to work. I would really appreciate it if someone could pull the changes and test specifically for binary files in templates, and also for private repos, and anything else you care about. I think we may need to revert to name/pass for private repos.
