Post failed: Unauthorized

[leejarvis]

I get this message every time I attempt a gist which requires authentication (ie everything but -a).

Here's the full output:

I've tried setting g:github_user and g:github_token explicitly but this makes no different, and it appears the GistPost function has the correct credentials. Am I missing something?

[mattn]

Perhaps, you miss typed g:github_token. If you changed password, token will be changed also.

[leejarvis]

No, my github token is taken from git config --global github.token, I've also printed the value in the GistPost function and it appears to be the exact same as the token in my github account. Is there any other reason this could happen other than my token not checking out?

[mattn]

Yes, I know that your token is gived from github.token.
I meant that: Is your github.token same as token printed in https://github.com/account/admin . :)

[leejarvis]

That's what I meant by 'appears to be the exact same as the token in my github account'

But I have figured out what's wrong, it had one character different.. No idea how that happened. I just double checked, should have done that before. Sorry for the unnecessary noise!

[mattn]

np :)
