GitHub Oauth returning 500 "Internal Server Error" when authenticating #579

Current behavior

When I try to create a new cloud storage (via the Boostnote Web App), it takes me to the GitHub Oauth login screen. After providing my username and password, it brings me back to a screen that just says "Internal Server Error." It works when I try to log in to a different user GitHub account - there just seems to be a problem with authenticating one specific account. I have tried revoking the OAuth permissions on GitHub to no avail.

Expected behavior

OAuth should work.

Steps to reproduce

This fails with a specific GitHub account and works with another.

  1. Open BoostNote web app (https://note.boostio.co/app/)
  2. Under "Storage Type," click "Cloud"
  3. Click "Sign In"
  4. Click "Login via GitHub" - a pop-up for GitHub credentials appears
  5. Enter GitHub credentials
  6. "Internal Server Error" is returned, web app does not authenticate.
