Problem authing

[timlesallen]

Hi,
I have just installed hub and am looking forward to the awesome features, but can't seem to be authentication working.

This sort of thing is happening:

tim@tim-laptop ~/tmp $ git clone timothylesallen/phone_number_translator
github.com password for timothyleslieallen (never stored): 
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:2105:in `error!': 401 "Unauthorized" (Net::HTTPServerException)
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:529:in `obtain_oauth_token'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:510:in `apply_authentication'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:673:in `oauth_token'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:573:in `fetch_value'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:572:in `fetch'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:572:in `fetch_value'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:672:in `oauth_token'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:509:in `apply_authentication'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:548:in `apply_authentication'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:441:in `perform_request'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:406:in `get'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:289:in `repo_info'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:1688:in `clone'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:1487:in `send'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:1487:in `run'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:2396:in `initialize'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:2400:in `new'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:2400:in `execute'
        from /usr/local/bin/hub:2451

Any ideas?

@timlesallen Any chance you have 2FA enabled? See #435.

Why did hub think your username is "timothyleslieallen", when it's in fact "timlesallen"? Do you have GITHUB_USER environment variable set by chance?

It seems that authentication failed because of the wrong username.

That's it, thanks for noticing that! I did indeed have GITHUB_USER set
to my old git username. This issue can probably be closed.
