error: repo not found about github-cli HOT 8 CLOSED

what do you get, when you do this: git remote -v

from github-cli.

I’m getting the same issue — I suspect it has to do with private repos.

from github-cli.

I figured it out; there is a problem with the API. Public and private repos are treated differently. We can't post login credentials to the list and show commands; this returns a 500 error. This would be needed by private repos. Public repos can be queried without posting login and token, so this works. I'll notify the developers.

I tried adding auth to all commands and it seems to be working fine with public and private repositories

from github-cli.

When I add auth to the show command, it stops working on public and private repos (= returns a 'too many requests' error). What do you get?

from github-cli.

I'm certainly getting this error with private repositories. I have yet to try davidsch's changes to see if it fixes it. For those who are wondering, the changes are in his fork. You can find the changes in the commit:

http://github.com/davidsch/github-cli/commit/1ff4b1889d0a626c61253504094e3e062502bea9

from github-cli.

Posting auth details with the request are now default. It is not documented yet on develop.github.com. Commands work now for public and private repos. Committed in:
