1. Pretty much the same for me, when I tried from windows:

vturner2@LAPTOP-F0QM306P MINGW64 ~/.atom/dev/packages/multi-theme-applicator (master)

$ apm publish patch

2. Fortunately, I was able to get it to work from a linux VM:

vturner@vturner-virtual-machine ~/vtstuff/github/multi-theme-applicator $ apm publish patch
Preparing and tagging a new version ✓
Pushing v2.2.5 tag Username for 'https://github.com': vt5491
Password for 'https://[email protected]': 

vturner@vturner-virtual-machine ~/vtstuff/github/multi-theme-applicator/lib $ apm --version
apm  2.4.3
npm  6.2.0
node 10.2.1 x64
atom 1.40.1
python 2.7.12
git 2.7.4

for password I specified a 30-day "personal access token" that I generated on github, which looked something like:

ghp_FT0ogVuU7YgySVwekSWqCyOvD.........

which was I token I granted all privileges to. Don't know if granting all repo privileges is strictly necessary though. Don't use the token that is given to you when you use 'apm login'.

3. use "git reset HEAD~n" if you need to delete any local publish commits that failed.
