Steps to reproduce

2. copy minshift to ~/.local/bin (which is in $PATH)
3. run minishift openshift version list

Expected

I expect a list of versions

Actual

i get

Error while trying to get list of available Origin versions: GET https://api.github.com/repos/openshift/origin/releases: 401 Bad credentials []

Logs

~$ minishift -v5 openshift version list
-- minishift version: v1.21.0+a8c8b37
Error while trying to get list of available Origin versions: GET https://api.github.com/repos/openshift/origin/releases: 401 Bad credentials []

Info

I can not reproduce this if i encapsulate minishift in a docker container and it works on any other machine. minishift must use some environment variable or other information source from my local machine, which is passed to github as authorization header or something like that. I tried to set GH_TOKEN to a valid token but it didn’t change anything (See #3564). I can successfully curl, wget and open the URL in my Browser with an authorized session and incognito tab.
