Intellij IDEA: Couldn't get the list of GitHub repositories

Question

I am using IntelliJ IDEA 15.0.1 on Win7 and want to checkout a GitHub project using the build in wizzard. Unfortunatly i get the following error:

Couldn't get the list of GitHub repositories, Can't get available repositories Method Not Allowed

I configured my proxy settings and my GitHub username and password. Did i forget something?

EDIT: When i test the connection under IntelliJ setting -> Version Control> GitHub i get the following error:

Can't login: Can't get user info Method Not Allowed

I was having the same problem and this is how I solved it

1. Click on configure then select settings (or Preferences menu on the Mac)
2. Select Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | HTTP Proxy
3. Check the radio button Manual proxy configuration
4. Enter your Host IP in the host name and the port number in the port number position
5. Click check connection and enter a url e.g github to test if the proxy setting works
6. Click Ok
7. Click on checkout from version control to pull from git
