I logged in to GitHub through the browser with the same username so don't know what's going on. Can anybody help?

You need to create a Github Token to access via the command line API. Go to Settings -> Developer Settings -> Access Tokens and create a new token.

I'm not entirely certain which set you need. I gave myself repo (all), write:packages, read:packages, and workflow because that's what I wanted on that token. My guess is that read:packages will be sufficient.

You can then provide your normal Github username and this new token when bundle prompts for it.
