Are you getting rate limited?

GitHub has strict rate limits for unauthorized users. For most folks this won't be an issue. If you want to get around this create a file .github_token with your GitHub API Key in it and put it in the same directory as the updater.

How can I add a new core?

Just open repo.json and add your repository name, then submit a PR. Make sure you publish a zipped release so that we can find it!
