Maven release / Github OAuth token / Jenkins: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': No such device or address
<p>From Jenkins I'm trying to do a maven release, with the code being hosted on github, on a repo. For the build user I generated an OAuth token to access the repo in RW mode.</p>

<p>In Jenkins I configured the repository checkout url like <code>https://token@github.com/username/project</code> without any credentials, as the token in front should be enough.</p>

<p>In my pom, for the  I did set any username/password, neither the token. The value is simply:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;developerConnection&gt;scm:git:https://github.com/username/project&lt;/developerConnection&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But when maven is trying to push the commits on the pom files, I got an error:</p>

<pre><code>[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.5.1:prepare (default-cli) on project cloudstack: Unable to commit files

<p>Any idea how to fix that?</p>
