Hub create returns Error creating repository: Not Found (HTTP 404) on MacOS

[dogaruemiliano]

Command attempted:

HUB_VERBOSE=1 hub create

What happened:

For password I use a token from github.com/settings/tokens
But got a 404 Error. I tried reinstalling hub, but got the same result. I even factory reseted my PC in the hope it would fix it.
I also tried github password or the passphrase used for the file generated from the first command in the more info section (below), but these return a 401 Error: Bad Credentials

github.com username: dogaruemiliano
github.com password for dogaruemiliano (never stored): 
> POST https://api.github.com/authorizations
> Authorization: Basic [REDACTED]
{"scopes": ["repo"], "note": "hub for [email protected]", "note_url": "http://hub.github.com/"}
< HTTP 404
{"message":"Not Found","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest"}

More info:

This are the steps I did previous to this problem (from a tutorial)

mkdir -p ~/.ssh && ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -o -a 100 -f ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 -C "[email protected]"

I was prompted for a passphrase, typed one and pressed enter.

Then I gave my public key to GitHub.

cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub

- Copy that text from ssh to the end of your email address
- Go to github.com/settings/ssh
- Click on Add SSH key
- Fill in the Title with your computer name
- Paste the Key
- Finish by clicking on the Add key green button.

To check that this step is completed, in the terminal I execute:

ssh -T [email protected]

And get this output:

# Hi --------! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access

Steps from this setup tutorial

Versions
macOS 11.0.1 (20B50)
git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)
hub version 1.12.4

PS: It might be a bug or I don't know how to use it. I am not experienced with the setup, we only did it once at the beginning of thee bootcamp. I changed my PC and had to do it on my own. Thank you for reading this!

Sorry that you're having trouble! For now, the solution is to manually generate a Personal Access Token online to replace the password: #2655
