Backing up releases using fine-grained token ends with an error

[maximzasorin]

Hi, thank you for a nice tool!

I use version 0.44.1 and try to backup my github repositories including releases and their assets.

When I use classic token, the backup completes successfully.

But when I use fine-grained token, the backup fails. The backup breaks on the first release that has assets:

% github-backup --token-fine=$GITHUB_TOKEN_FINE maximzasorin --all --private --gists
2024-01-04T17:09:51.852: Backing up user maximzasorin to /Users/maxim/Backups/github
...

2024-01-04T17:11:48.016: can't concat str to bytes

I added some debug lines and got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):

@maximzasorin can you test if you get the error again, I believe this issue should be fixed and can be closed.

@dale-primer-e I checked the 0.45.1 version and backing up using fine grained token now works without errors, thank you.
