Description

I've configured an access token (in User Token with gh configure) but I cannot access to a private repo owned by an organisation in which I am.

I have this error:

{"error":"Not Found"}

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the authentication flow for private repos in gitsome. Check if the personal access token has the correct scopes (e.g., repo) and if the token is being passed correctly in API requests to GitHub. Look into the error handling for 404 responses from GitHub API.
