Error: GitHub API rate limit exceeded for xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)
Try again in x minutes x seconds, or create a personal access token:

and then set the token as: HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN
访问 https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=&description=Homebrew，点击 Generate token
如果没有 github 账户，请自己申请。
复制刚生成的token，添加到 1

~/Applications
配置下，让 app 链接至 1
~/My Applications
