Description

As a developer, when I try to use github as my source of cookbook (such as cookbook 'mysql', github: 'opscode-cookbooks/mysql', branch: 'master' ) I am no longer able to do so - please update chef-workstation to be able to communicate with github in modern methods. Please see the error below.

Chef Workstation Version

2022.4.891

Platform Version

Windows 10
