Magithub is set up correctly with .authinfo.gpg but M-x magit-checkout-pull-request prompts for a new token.

Such a Github API token is not available:

If in doubt, then abort and first view the section of the Ghub

Otherwise confirm and then provide your Github username and

you might have to provide a passphrase and confirm that you                                                                                                                                                          
really want to save the token.                                                                                                                                                                                       

Create and store such a token? (y or n) 

All other functionality works perfectly, including creating pull requests, etc. I have set up 2FA and I've configured auth-sources to only ~/.authinfo.gpg. What could be wrong?

Thanks for the awesome software!!!

This token is being requested by package magit (cc @tarsius), not magithub, so you do in fact need to create that token. Magithub's token requires more permissions from you than Magit does, so ghub runs with that example and wants to keep the two scopes separate to help keep your data secure.

This should only be a one-time thing (unless of course you revoke the generated token later on).

Great, thanks a lot!
