Composer [UnexpectedValueException] error will trying to use composer to install a github project

Question

I am trying to install a github project using composer and get the following error

Composer [UnexpectedValueException] Your Github oauth token for github.com conta

Answer 1

As far as I know (I'm a beginner with composer too), the problem is with your authentication, so you have to fix your credentials in auth.json inside path-to-composer/.composer/

Inside you will find a json which will probably looks like:

{
  "github-oauth": {
    "github.com": null
  }
}

Fix that and you should be ok ;)
