Most likely a hikup in the network connection to github. The fact that you can post this issue proves that github is working end you can reach it.

@BenjV I have this error 24/7 in Medusa, and yes i can reach github w/o problems from my browser. I am 200% sure that my username and password is correct.

[medariox]

Username and password auth doesn't work anymore (deprecated by GH). You need to use the Personal access token.

[p0psicles]

Yeah I'll remove the username/password option from the UI. And add a config migration that will reset user/pass auth to none gh auth set

[ward0]

@p0psicles Thanks! I will change to access token after your commit.

[p0psicles]

You can already change to token auth. It already works.

[ward0]

@p0psicles I just tried with token, clicking on 'generate token' opens a new tab with url: https://dereferer.org/?https%3A%2F%2Fgithub_com%2Fsettings%2Ftokens%2Fnew%3Fdescription=Medusa&scopes=gist%2Cpublic_repo but this does nothing.

[p0psicles]

Are you already logged in on github?

[ward0]

@p0psicles Yes, i have 2 tabs open, Github and Medusa. I get this tab now:

How should i proceed? Do i need to paste this whole page in github somewhere?

[BenjV]

I would suggest, just don't use that feature (leave fields blank) and submit problems (if you experiences one) by hand.
