“Username for 'https://github.com':” when calling voom

[Micha Rosenbaum]

Lately, when I called voom, it asked me for my Github user name. This is odd, because I didn’t include any private repositories. I investigated and it turned out, that I added a repository with trailing .git. If you run into the same problem, check that all your plugins are added in the format username/repo without trailing .git.

I’m opening this as an issue, that others with the same problem can find a solution. You are free to close it right away. However, I can think of three actions following this issue: ① Document this behaviour more clearly in the README. ② Check if a line in the manifest contains a .git ending. ③ Mark .git as an error in the plugins syntax file.

Thank you for voom! 😄

Thanks for the feedback. I agree with all three of your suggestions and will try to implement them soon...
