There is a logic branch in the api code which is the culprit...in `repos.rb`:
```
elsif authenticated?
  # For authenticated user
  get_request("/user/repos", params)
else
```
so when you're authenticated, aka have your parameters specified in the `Github` object, it will default to grabbing your own repos, regardless of what params you give it (I think). To see the other list, you'd have to use the `github_gen` object you create.
