Hello AppVeyor team.

I have a project using PHP and composer.phar.
I have installed PHP and composer.phar, but there is trouble when i run the command: $ composer install.

• https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tomk79/pxfw-2-x/build/28-develop

  - Installing erusev/parsedown (1.5.3)
    Downloading: Connecting... 
Could not fetch https://api.github.com/repos/erusev/parsedown/zipball/b9e5228e92e5f5c17d7774cfb2de8e5e8362de1a, please create a GitHub OAuth token to go over the API rate limit
Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+appvyr-win20122+2015-06-03+1603
to retrieve a token. It will be stored in "C:/Users/appveyor/AppData/Roaming/Composer/auth.json" for future use by Composer.
Token (hidden):

It looks like composer.phar fails to get a package, after exceeding the access limit (60).

In a typical local PC environment, getting the access token from github, and running $ composer config -g github-oauth.github.com <oauthtoken> solves it, but how can I solve it, in an AppVeyor environment?

Help me.
Thank you.

   Generate OAuth token and put it into appveyor.yml as secure variable: http://www.appveyor.com/docs/build-configuration#secure-variables

   Then add the same command before calling composer:

   php composer config -g github-oauth.github.com %oauthtoken%
   

   where oauthtoken is the name of secure variable.
