Why is composer constantly "asking" for a token for github?

Question

PHP

Good day.
Every time I run composer update I get the following message:

Your GitHub credentials are required to fetch private repository metadata (git://github.com/DmitryBaranovskiy/eve.git)
Head to https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=Composer+on+F1-laptop+2015-10-08+0043
to retrieve a token. It will be stored in "/home/USER/.composer/auth.json" for future use by Composer.
Token (hidden):

I constantly enter the token, although it is already in the file:

{
    "github-oauth": {
        "github.com": "0000000000000000000000000000000"
    }
}

Please tell me what to do so as not to copy-paste it constantly.
Thank you.

GitHub doesn't like pulling repositories frequently. There is a solution: use the local cache using the --prefer-dist key.
Or add the token to the config with the command:
