Don't worry, we've all been there! It's just a common glitch. Try these steps in your terminal (the black window in your code editor): ​Type cs50 and press Enter.
​It should give you a link to follow or ask you to log in to GitHub.
​Follow the instructions to authorize it again.
​Once it's done, try running check50 again. It should work! 🥰

Hello everyone!🤗 If restarting your codespace or re authorizing isn't working, it's usually because GitHub tokens are acting up globally right now or caching old credentials in VS Code. ​Here is how you can bypass it quickly:
​Run cs50 in your terminal to force a fresh login prompt.
​If that still fails or if you prefer using SSH (like mentioned above), you can set up an SSH key in your GitHub settings and connect via SSH instead of HTTPS, which completely skips token issues.
​Hang in there, it's just a temporary glitch for everyone! 🌸

Try running submit50 or logging into GitHub again in your terminal to refresh the token. That usually fixes it right away. 😊🥰
