Save to Github -- I keep getting "Error while saving: XMLHttpRequest error code: 404"

[Pum Walters]

Just installed 5.1.23 in a fresh github repo (Pumpapa/pumpapa.github.io)

When I try to set GitHub Saver (see attached screenshot) I get 

  Error while saving:

  XMLHttpRequest error code: 404

made a fresh OAUTH token for this and tried it both in FF and Chrome (under Linux).

Access to the page is via a domain beginnings.blog (setup as described in https://boffosocko.com/2020/04/04/self-hosting-tiddlywiki-with-github-pages/)

Any suggestions would be helpful

Where it says "master" for branch, try removing that text and typing it back in manually.

As of Oct 1, 2020, all new GitHub repositories will use "main" instead of "master"

  (see https://www.infoq.com/news/2020/10/github-main-branch/)

So, try setting the "Target branch for saving" to "main" instead of "master"

Is the target repository set to  Pumpapa/pumpapa.github.io ? I cannot be sure from the screenshot.

No luck. I tried main and tried retyping it.

Note that the only branch is in fact master; I'm not sure why, given the link you gave. I created the repo today.

To be sure: what I should do is adapt these settings in ControlPanel/Saving/Github Saver, and then hit save (Ⓥ), right?

Type over the path as well. At least in the past it was a phantom. That is, you had to physically type it in even though it appeared to already be filled in.

OK Guys. Thank you for your perseverance! I did as you suggested, typing everything instead of cut-and-past, and used a new Personal key (gist, notifications, repo) and now it worked.

Thanks again!

Hi,

The only thing, that need to be checked for the access-token to save TW is as follows. Nothing else is needed and shouldn't be assigned.
