Install Spark (windows) - Invalid credentials for gitHub

I followed the steps in the spark documentation, I purchased spark license and joined the Spark GitHub repository, but when i used the command 'composer update' i am prompted with a GitHub authentication. I keyed in the correct github authentication. but i always get '[Composer\Downloader\TransportException] Invalid credentials for 'https://spark-satis.laravel.com/packages.json', aborting. '

You have to create an API key on your GitHub account in addition to the spark API key. It is a bit confusing but once setup it does work.

Do you mean personal API tokens? i already generated github token to authenticate my composer requests and run this command in terminal 'composer config --global github-oauth.github.com ' following this instruction : https://github.com/composer/composer/issues/3542 but still not working.
