simpel.cc git not working - wrong gh version

After updating gh with homebrew you get an error message like this:

/home/c.zelck/.linuxbrew/Cellar/gh/VERSION/bin/gh auth git-credential get: line 1: /home/c.zelck/.linuxbrew/Cellar/gh/VERSION/bin/gh: No such file or directory

Git uses gh for authenticating with github and its config links to the old gh version.

You have to update .gitconfig with the current gh version.

gh --version

Look at:

git config --edit --global

Open

vim ~/.gitconfig

and adapt following line (currently #55) with current gh version:

[credential "https://github.com"]
    helper = !/home/c.zelck/.linuxbrew/Cellar/gh/VERSION/bin/gh auth git-credential
