Two-factor auth breaks everything (?) about gist.el

[brandoncc]

Is there any known problem with Emacs 24.5.1 on OSX? I can't get the login to work. I enter a a token as my password and oauth token and it gives me errors such as the JSON readtable error and one about api v3 something. I had it working previously, then I cleared out my elpa dir while trying to get cider working and now I can't login to gh anymore. I do have 2fa enabled, but I also tried with it disabled to no avail.

So I was able to fix this locally, however not sure if is the best way to do this, anyways, as gist.el uses gh.el which persist the credentials as git --global config, we can just set them manually and everything should work, like this:
Make sure to unset them, just in case.

git config --global --unset github.user
git config --global --unset github.password
git config --global --unset github.oauth-token

Set them

git config --global --add github.user your_user_name
git config --global --add github.password your_token
git config --global --add github.oauth-token same_token_as_password

To generate the token, just go to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new

I hope this helps.

Also broken here, but @arthurnn's fix did not work for me. I am now getting the error Invalid number format: 2 when I attempt a gist-list

@arthurnn's fix worked for me. Thanks!

I introduced 2-factor support in gh.el 0.9.0, so it should now be ok without any additional hacks.
Please reopen if that's not the case
