I already put an alias for hub on my
.bashrc
alias git=hub

But when I want to create a repos my credentials always failed

Command attempted:
git create jam_hub
github.com username: sekti92
github.com password for sekti92 (never stored):

What happened:
Error creating repository: Unauthorized (HTTP 401)
Bad credentials. The API can't be accessed using username/password authentication. Please create a personal access token to access this endpoint: http://github.com/settings/tokens

More info:
git version 2.29.1.windows.1
hub version 2.14.2

I had the same issue. I went to the github tokens link provided and made a token, and now it works.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. GitHub deprecated its Authorizations API, which hub relied on for exchanging a password for a token.

Until we fix this in hub, the solution is to generate a Personal Access Token (with at least repo scope) at https://github.com/settings/tokens and paste it instead of the password.

This didn't fix it for me. Error stays the same. I will try to find a fix.

This information should be in the readme, and not in an issue.

@mislav Can we change the intimation message until this is fixed? Something like github.com token for <user>: rather than github.com password for <user>: ? I think the message is fairly confusing.

Add docs about github tokens for cherrypicking
57ec942 
Recently, I performed a cherry pick for the first time. When I ran ./hack/cherry_pick_pull.sh
after setting up all the env variables, I was asked for my github password. When I gave my actual
github password it threw a 404 not found which confused me. I then came across this
github/hub#2655 (comment) . I created a github token
post which I was able to cherry pick successfully.

The hub project team is looking to fix it but until then I feel that we should document it.

Do let me know if I did something wrong here in the cherry pick process.
