- Issue: this works fine using OAuth but if you swap to a PAT then Retool forces you to use GQL. I don't think this is a requirement of the actual Github API though right?

Hi @David_Meadows,
It sounds like this was a Retool design choice. It may be something we change in the future, but it isn't currently on our roadmap.
I'd recommend checking out the generic rest api or Open API integration as a workaround. You won't have the ease of the native Github integration, but you'll have more flexibility in your configuration
Thanks @Tess . Using the generic OpenAPI Resource with Github's OpenAPI spec was a good workaround here, albeit a bit slow given the size of their spec.
