The cURL code samples in the API docs have a typo in the Authorization Header line

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

Seemingly all instances of cURL code samples in the API docs include the below typo. I have only spot-checked, but tracking the source of the issue leads me to believe all instances would have the same problem.

If you copy/paste that full command (replacing the necessary variables "<YOUR-TOKEN>", "OWNER", and "REPO" with valid values), you will get a cURL error:

curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL
{
  "message": "Bad credentials",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest"
}

What changes are you suggesting?

The authorization header line in the cURL code samples should have a space before the backslash escape character at the end of the line:
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>"\ should be -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR-TOKEN>" \

I opened PR #26706 to address this, but the file is restricted since it's in the src directory.

@WhiteFruit Thanks for opening an issue! As you stated, we don't accept changes to those files in that repo. We had a similar issue reported recently that I transferred over to the /rest-api-description repo, so I'm going to go ahead and add this issue there, as well. Here's the link to it.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue. But thanks for opening and for your interest in improving the docs! 💖
