Composer authentication

To avoid Composer asking for authentication it is recommended to follow the procedure on composer's authentication.

For github.com you could also use an auth.json file with an oauth access token placed on the the same level as your composer.json file:

{
    "github-oauth": {
        "github.com": "YOUR_GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN"
    }
}
