     - The command line arguments for the scrapper are as follows:
         1. (`githubOwnerAndRepo`) `repoOwner/repo` - This is what's displayed in the Github URL when on the repo page e.g. for this repo it would be `spacesailor24/github-dependents-scraper`
         2. (`dependentsFile`) `anything.json` - This file can be named anything, but it needs to be a valid JSON file ending with the `.json` file extension

(`resumeCrawl`) `true` or `false` - Eventually this crawler will get rate limited by Github, this flag allows you to run the crawler from where it left off before receiving the rate limit page. Do not use when first initializing the scrape. Only apply `true` when continuing the scrape from an incomplete state.
             - So if the crawler dies because of rate limiting, you'd start it up again with:
             ```bash
             node index.js repoOwner/repo dependents.json true
