I already put an alias for hub on my
.bashrc
alias git=hub

But when I want to create a repos my credentials always failed

Command attempted:
git create jam_hub
github.com username: flyingduck92
github.com password for flyingduck92 (never stored):

What happened:
Error creating repository: Unauthorized (HTTP 401)
Bad credentials. The API can't be accessed using username/password authentication. Please create a personal access token to access this endpoint: http://github.com/settings/tokens

More info:
git version 2.29.1.windows.1
hub version 2.14.2

    I had the same issue. I went to the github tokens link provided and made a token, and now it works.

    I'm sorry for the inconvenience. GitHub deprecated its Authorizations API, which hub relied on for exchanging a password for a token.

    Until we fix this in hub, the solution is to generate a Personal Access Token (with at least repo scope) at https://github.com/settings/tokens and paste it instead of the password.

    This didn't fix it for me. Error stays the same. I will try to find a fix.

    This information should be in the readme, and not in an issue.

    Why was this issue closed? This seems like a pretty major issue.

    Please, please, please get rid of this tool if it is no longer supported. I just wasted 30 minutes trying to get a previously working setup up and running and ended up here at the bottom of this rabbit hole.

    It is fine if the tool needs a token, it is fine if the tool is discontinued, but do your best to surface this to users running the latest version as fast as possible.

    If the tool is to continue to be available my suggestions are below.

    Not found could be replaced with:

    Not found. Are you trying to use a username and password?

Until we fix this in hub, the solution is to generate a Personal Access Token (with at least repo scope) at https://github.com/settings/tokens and paste it instead of the password.

    And when it says this:

    Error fetching pull requests: Unauthorized (HTTP 401)
Bad credentials

    It would be better to say:

    Error fetching pull requests: Unauthorized (HTTP 401)
Bad credentials

Try clearing out your ~/.config/hub file. Your next attempt to connect with request that you reauthorize.

    Drop `hub` and just use GitHub CLI

    git:(master) hub create
    github.com username: blabla
    github.com password for blabla (never stored):
    Error creating repository: Not Found (HTTP 404)

    Tired using the token too, still got the same error

    Using the PAT (Personal Access Token) with repo scope as the password works for me.

    Извините за неудобства. GitHub устарел от своего API авторизации, на который хаб полагался при обмене пароля на токен.

    Пока мы не исправим это в хабе, решение состоит в том, чтобы сгенерировать токен личного доступа (по крайней мере, с repoобластью действия) на https://github.com/settings/tokens и вставить его вместо пароля.

    It works, thanks!
    But if you didn't select 'Repo' when creating the key, then you get the following error:
    Error creating repository: Unauthorized (HTTP 401) Bad credentials
    You need to delete the ~/.config/hub directory and re-authorize on github.com and everything should work fine.
    rm -rf ~/.config/hub
    And after that, authorize again by entering your login and the key that you previously created:
    hub create

    Same here.

    @mislav Could you please make the tool emit an error, instead prompting for username and password and saying Not Found, when it's known that this cannot currently work?

    Replace `hub` by `gh`.
