Github Bad Credentials

Github has deprecated its authentication API for bare username and password, that is the root cause of “Bad Credentials” problem. The solutions is easy, just replace your password with “personal access token” when doing commit in the GGEditor.

Steps:

1. Go to your settings page in the Github.com and create a personal access token in Github.com. (How to by Github) and copy the personal access token into your clipboard.
2. Open a Google Document and remove all stored credentials in the GGEditor, then add a new account with the copied token as your password.
3. You have done.
