I have the same problem, I have done something in this period.

• regenerate my gist access token

I get the same problem as well. I am able to upload my settings from one computer but when I try to download to another computer I get this error. I've tried generating a new token, uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing my settings, etc.

Here are the error messages that show up in the search console.

+1 Getting same issue. Anyone has any recommendations or have managed to get this working?

[darrensimio]

I managed to get it working using these steps:

1. Retrieved the sync.gist value from my origin machine's settings.json (noticed that it's different from what's generated from Github)

2. Paste the value in the settings.json for sync.gist

3. Exec "Sync: download Settings" and it works

[ahdung]

@darrensimsg Thank you first, yes the "download Settings" is well, but "Updata/Upload Settings" still same fail.

[ahdung]

@darrensimsg Sorry it's my fail, your solution is work!!! the reason of the problem is i have not Created gist file before.

[ahdung]

Guys, don't forget Create a empty file on Gist before !!! then you can get the Gist id of the file at URL, name and content not care, as u wish.

[dinos80152]

@darrensimsg
I don't understand what this mean. It's mean the sync.gist value on user settings?

Retrieved the sync.gist value from my origin machine's settings.json (noticed that it's different from what's generated from Github)

[ahdung]

@dinos80152 the sync.gist is a option item, F1>type ">preferences: open user settings" and Enter, at right area add the item, like this:
{
....
"sync.gist": "cac36xxxxx", // id of the gist file, find it in url, https://gist.github.com/ahdung/cac36xxxx
....
}

[darrensimio]

@dinos80152 When you open settings.json (use settings), you will see "sync.gist" if you have already installed the plugin and setup it up before.

Copy the "sync.gist" value to other machines that you want to sync up with. =)

[shanalikhan]

Please check this solution to solve these issues. https://github.com/shanalikhan/code-settings-sync/issues/177#issuecomment-269873967

Also it will create the GIST automatically and setup its ID in settings.json when sync.gist is not provided for Upload
Keep the GIST ID saved, and put on other instances in order to sync them also.

[zhihuilong]

@ahdung Thx. You are right. The gist value is not the personal access token but the value appending to the url, like that https://gist.github.com/ahdung/cac36xxxx. cac36xxxx is the right sync.gist value. Hope other people can get it.

[ahdung]

@zhihuilong you got it. I think the official guide should append these detail infomation.
