Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/BoostIO/BoostNote-App/issues/579

Current behavior

When I try to create a new cloud storage (via the Boostnote Web App), it takes me to the GitHub Oauth login screen. After providing my username and password, it brings me back to a screen that just says "Internal Server Error." It works when I try to log in to a different user GitHub account - there just seems to be a problem with authenticating one specific account. I have tried revoking the OAuth permissions on GitHub to no avail.

Expected behavior

OAuth should work.

Steps to reproduce

This fails with a specific GitHub account and works with another.

Open BoostNote web app (https://note.boostio.co/app/)
Under "Storage Type," click "Cloud"
Click "Sign In"
Click "Login via GitHub" - a pop-up for GitHub credentials appears
Enter GitHub credentials
"Internal Server Error" is returned, web app does not authenticate.

Environment

Boostnote version: Web
OS version and name:

This should be fixed by now. The problem was caused by using empty string for github name.
