gedmo/doctrine-extensions asking for a token when installing via composer

Question

Is anyone else having an issue gedmo/doctrine-extensions installing via composer?

The repository is public so I am not sure why it's saying it is a private repo

Cloning failed using an ssh key for authentication, enter your GitHub credentials to access private repos Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+computername+2015-09-04+1040 to retrieve a token. It will be stored in "/location/.composer/auth.json" for future use by Composer. Token (hidden):

Answer 1

In short: you are hitting the API rate limit, because you don't auth against it.

The Github API has a very low rate limit, so if you install lots of packages it will at some point fail and ask you for your login/password.

If you prefer to not provide your GitHub credentials to Composer, you can manually create a token using the following procedure:

• Create an OAuth token on GitHub (https://github.com/blog/1509-personal-api-tokens).

• Add it to the configuration running composer config -g github-oauth.github.com <oauthtoken>

Now Composer should install/update without asking for authentication.
