Limit and/or Cache API requests to avoid: 403 - API rate limit exceeded for installation ID ___ #266
Description
I just switched to using Jekyll 4.3.2 and tried to deploy a static site using this theme, which lists all current GitHub repositories on the generated static site page. To do this, it uses jekyll-github-metadata gem (version 2.16.0) to gather all repositories for my GitHub user.
Apparently, this results in a lot of API requests (for my user, over ~486!) and quickly hits the rate limit when using GITHUB_TOKEN in a GitHub Actions workflow.
Would it be possible to cache or limit API requests further so static site deployments will complete successfully in GitHub Actions?
For example: The jekyll build --verbose output shows each repo is queried for both contributors and releases, but the template doesn't even need this information
