My issue was that my github config in ~/.gitconfig was corrupt. Re-config by:

$ git config --global github.user "your-github-username"
$ git config --global github.token "your-github-token"

Same as #39 (comment)

I just updated my ~/.gitconfig, and I am still having the same issue.

I think that my credentials were just invalid. (when you change your
password, your api credentials change as well). It's working fine now.

As I note in the duplicate issue: "I had this very frustrating issue for a long time (is spewing a stack trace really the best error message available?) and finally fixed it by removing GITHUB_USER and GITHUB_TOKEN from my gitconfig and hardcoding my actual credentials."

@kristianmandrup wanna close this issue since it's a duplicate of #39?

[Evan Weaver]

The github gem will drop an invalid empty "network cache" file at .git/network-cache if the credentials are busted. Remove it, fix your credentials, then try.
