teachers_pet/github asking for username/password even with token

[meling]

Even though I have defined the TEACHERS_PET_GITHUB_TOKEN env. variable, github now insists on asking me for my username and password.

This used to work perfectly fine without this interactivity a few weeks ago. I'm not sure what can be the source of this problem; the main change that I've done is to upgrade to Yosemite OS X beta, presumably with a newer version of Ruby installed (Ruby 2.0.0p481). I've also made sure to update my teachers_pet installation.

Anyone know what might be the cause of this problem?

(Right now, It makes my life very hard, having 40ish student repos to clone).

Try generating a new ssh key and see if that works.

I need to look into this more deeply, but the commands that use Git (versus the API) under the hood will be trying to use your SSH key. I couldn't find if the help docs say this explicitly, but I think the token can be swapped in for the password when using Git.
