Error running memote online

[stelmo]

Hi,

I am trying to incorporate automatic memote tests in a metabolic model I am building. I was trying out your instructions in the documents, but I ran into an issue. I am able to successfully create a local repo of a model using memote new but when I run memote online I get the following error message:

...
Encrypting GitHub token for repo 'stelmo/ltmodel'.
Storing GitHub token in '.travis.yml'.
Add, commit and push changes to '.travis.yml' to GitHub.
cmdline: git push --set-upstream origin master
stderr: 'Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.'

I am not sure how to resolve this.

After this error halted the process I tried adding the resultant (presumably incomplete repo?) files using Github Desktop. I tried adding it as a local repo but I get the error "Authentication failed" when I try this. I can see the repo on my Github account online, but it seem "uninitialized"...

Does anybody know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

I have a similar issue where I give my correct github username while creating the repository via memote new but as soon as I try to run memote online it always says that my Authentication fails.

There was a switch in mid November in the GitHub API and password authentication, as we implemented it, is no longer possible. There should be a new web authentication flow. Is that something either of you is able to implement and maybe contribute to memote? Otherwise maybe @phantomas1234 has someone who can work on this.
