As declared by @defunkt [1], the standard name for the github oauth token config is github.token. Try that in addition to github.oauth-token.

I think that'd be too confusing actually. The token this blog post refers to predates the introduction of oauth. At that time GitHub was using an "API token" instead (and gh.el was using it actually). But that "API token" has since disappeared, and I'm not comfortable recycling the git config name.
