git-jar make is not able to create cookies anymore

[kit-ty-kate]

Trying to use git-jar make <user> <cookie> results in:

Fatal error: exception (Failure "HTTP Error 404 Not Found" .....)
[...]
  \n\
  \nBody:\
  \n{\"message\":\"Not Found\",\"documentation_url\":\"https://docs.github.com/rest\"}\
  \n")

It looks like they removed this functionality from the rest api.

GitHub deprecated the endpoint git-jar make used. It needs to use a Web application flow with a local host redirect.

If that command is useful, we should make the required deprecations this library and update the cli tools.

Have you been able to work around this issue?

Not really. I just stopped using git-jar all together instead.
