      Many are using GitHub OAuath or other auth provider. It seems that this plugin only works with username/passoword.

      As with many auth providers its not possible to create a technical user  it is not possible to connect to master. It would be good if other connection option would be provided other then username/passowrd.

       

       

      This is the error that I get when trying to use the github username/password.

          KK does not maintain this plugin anymore. Moving to unassigned to set the expectation

          A simple workaround for this problem:

          ```

          curl https://api.github.com/authorizations --user $USERNAME --data '{"scopes":["user:email","read:org"],"note":"jenkins swarm clients"}'

          ```

          You will be prompted to enter your password. The response will look something like:

          ```

          {   ...   "token": "<TOKEN>"   ... }

          ```

          You would then take the 'token' value from here for use as the `-password` field in the swarm client command line. That's all there is to it!

           

          The token doesn't expire as far as I can tell; you can manually revoke it from the github web ui at https://github.com/settings/tokens. The `note` field in the abovementioned curl call ends up being the name of the token (attempting to obtain a new token with the same name will fail.

           

          Come to think of it you don't need to use the above curl command since you can just generate a token at the same tokens url; it just needs `user:email` and `read:org` permissions.
