Command failed generating auth token

[bsdlp]

After entering my github password for git hub setup:

Command failed at line 142 in setup:api-token of /usr/lib/git-core/git-hub.d/git-hub-setup

Could this be related to two factor authentication? I'm not sure of how auth tokens are generated with GitHub.

I had the same issue and I was also wondering if it was related to two factor auth as I did get the auth code sent to my phone just after the error.

Yes, this is related to two-factor auth. As a workaround, you can go to https://github.com/settings/applications and create a new "personal access token" with the following permissions: delete_repo, gist, repo, user. Then paste the token in to ~/.git-hub/config under the "api-token" key.

I'm not sure how to support 2FA but I should at least detect the errors and
then print out useful manual info.

Fixed in 2480754

I added a detection and prompt for 2FA in setup.

Need to do it for all the other commands that use Basic Auth.
(the token and scope commands)

@oalders, see if git hub upgrade works for you.
