GitHub credentials problem at install via composer

[blaces]

Hi all.

I have tried to install the basic yii2 with composer, and I got the following error message:

Could not fetch https://api.github.com/authorizations, enter your GitHub credentials to go over the API rate limit

The credentials will be swapped for an OAuth token stored in /home/lacc/.composer/auth.json, your password will not be stored

To revoke access to this token you can visit https://github.com/settings/applications

I added my github account and password, but It was rejected.

How can I solve this problem?

This is probably an issue with your composer setup/config, or perhaps your github account and git config, but likely not a problem with Yii 2.

Composer install Github Rate Limiting work around (Example)

You also may want to keep your github password out of your codebase.
