The reason for this is that some credentials manager, in particular Git Credential Manager on Windows, always seems to return "PersonalAccessToken" as the username when calling `git credential fill`. The fix is simple, just query the [/user](https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-the-authenticated-user) endoint instead of [/users](https://developer.github.com/v3/users/#get-a-single-user).
