When I run

GitHub github = GitHub.connectAnonymously();

GHGist gist = github.getGist(currentGist);

I get the following exception:

java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.kohsuke.github.GHGist.wrapUp(GHGist.java:106)
at org.kohsuke.github.GitHub.getGist(GitHub.java:370)
at ...

SInce i connected anynomously, why is it asking for the user? Is there something i can set to get it to ignore this?
