body : I find it weird having to rename a file in the module and setting the token there. Wouldn't this get overridden on updates? Why can't I just set the token in profi
le.ps1?
And, shouldn't this be a secure string or credential object of some sort instead of a plain string?
Table format shows mostly unimportant data:

I would propose to add ps1xml format files so that the default output format is a table that somewhat resembles the information GitHub shows on the issues page (title, author, closed/open, labels, ...).
