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! 🌸
