Fresh installed a laravel/homestead vagrant box, as per docs, run the init.sh, configured Homestead.yaml and ran $ vagrant up; vagrant ssh. Afterwards cd'ed to project's folder and ran composer install.
It hangs waiting for a token with the following message
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev) from lock file

Could not fetch https://api.github.com/repos/sebastianbergmann/diff/zipball/863df9687835c62aa423a22412d26fa2ebde3fd3, please create a GitHub OAuth token to go over the API rate limit
Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+homestead+2015-08-01+2140
to retrieve a token. It will be stored in "/home/vagrant/.composer/auth.json" for future use by Composer.
Token (hidden):
I have used laravel/homestead before, and I have never had to do any of these, is this some undocumented new feature or a bug or did I do something wrong?
You'll need to create a GitHub account if you don't already have one and then follow the instruction here and then copy the token.
Once you've got your token, run composer install again and then paste the token in when it prompts you for it.
