Current workaround is to provide a github token. First you need to go to the command palette and type sync: reset extension settings.

Just encountered this issue on Windows 10 from a complete uninstall (deleting corresponding files as well from %appdata% and %userprofile%) then doing a fresh install due to VS Code being terribly slow for some reason and can confirm this works.

I'm no longer having such error on my Ubuntu 18.10!

Now that I pay attention more on the issue, I'm no longer seeing the error mentioned on this issue, though strangely my extensions are not being installed on the editor. I just see them to be "fetched" and "installed" so quick, but at the end, these are not installed in vscode. If I use my token it goes fine. Could this be still related with this issue and not being able to fetch and install from public GIST?
