Deprecation notice for authentication via URL query parameters

See original GitHub issue

Just had this message from GitHub. Could it have been generated by the GitHub assistant (I don’t access GitHub any way that I can think of)?

"On February 3rd, 2020 at 23:11 (UTC) your personal access token (gas-github_xxxxxxxxx) using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 12499.66.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.106 Safari/537.36 was used as part of a query parameter to access an endpoint through the GitHub API:

_https://api.github.com/repositories/190063763/branches/v1.9_

Please use the Authorization HTTP header instead, as using the access_token query parameter is deprecated.

Depending on your API usage, we’ll be sending you this email reminder once every 3 days for each token and User-Agent used in API calls made on your behalf. Just one URL that was accessed with a token and User-Agent combination will be listed in the email reminder, not all.

Visit https://developer.github.com/changes/2019-11-05-deprecated-passwords-and-authorizations-api/#authenticating-using-query-parameters for more information."
