View Private Repositories Size

By default, this script will only display the sizes of public repositories. To display the sizes of private repositories, you will need to generate a new personal access token with the repo scope. This token will be used to authenticate with the Github API.

1. Generate a new token here.
2. Give the token a name and check the repo scope.
3. Click on the Generate token button and copy the token.
4. Replace the value of the TOKEN constant at the top of the script with the token you just generated.
