# List commits for a specific repository
commits = list_commits('owner', 'repo', 'your-github-token')
print(commits)

# Use pagination to list users
paginator = GitHubPaginator('your-github-token')

# List users from the beginning, include other request parameters as keyword arguments
users = paginator.get_paginator(list_users)
for user in users:
    print(user)

# If you want to resume the listing from a certain user ID, use the `since` parameter
users = paginator.get_paginator(list_users, since=500)
