Mohammad, three times yesterday I had started fresh with a new token. Tonight, I tried adding a new email, and verifying that new email, in case that was the catch. (My old email from when I set up the account in June did NOT claim to lack verification, and displayed no verification link in the settings area, but I'd already done every other troubleshooting step multiple times. Might as well be redundant here too...?)
YES, I experienced ONE error-free save... then some 409 errors... but then another successful save. And, the clincher: success at getting those edits to load via another browser. This seems to be the breakthrough I needed. So y'all, if you seem to be hitting GitHub 401 errors, try adding an email account and going through verification for the new email account. Cheers, all! -Springer On Tuesday, November 17, 2020 at 11:54:44 AM UTC-5 Mohammad wrote: > Hi Springer, > To check the step by step tutorial, I created a test repo and everything > went well.
