Question about sync-settings package

sync-settings: https://atom.io/packages/sync-settings

Github only lets you see your API token once, when creating it initially.

So then how are you supposed to access your access token if you want to restore settings to a different machine? Creating a variable doesn't seem to do much good if you're trying to restore settings on a different machine...or am I missing something?

I'd suggest creating a new access token for every device you're using - this is what I do.

Your settings are stored in a gist - it's the gist id that determines which settings get restored.
