Installation failed: Bad credentials (401) travis ci with R

My .travis.yml is as follows:

language: r
sudo: required
cache: packages

before_install:
  - echo -e "machine github.com\n  login $CI_USER_TOKEN" >> ~/.netrc
  - chmod 755 ./travis-tool.sh

install:
  - ./travis-tool.sh install_github RcppCore/Rcpp
  - ./travis-tool.sh install_github rstats-db/DBI
  - ./travis-tool.sh install_github rstats-db/RPostgres

However, I am not able install Rcpp package. it is throwing following error 

+InstallGithub RcppCore/Rcpp
+EnsureDevtools
+Rscript -e 'if (!("devtools" %in% rownames(installed.packages()))) q(status=1)'
+echo 'Installing GitHub packages: RcppCore/Rcpp'
Installing GitHub packages: RcppCore/Rcpp
+Rscript -e 'devtools::install_github(commandArgs(TRUE),host = '\''https://api.github.com'\'', dependencies = FALSE)' RcppCore/Rcpp
Using GitHub PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT
Downloading GitHub repo RcppCore/Rcpp@master
from URL https://api.github.com/repos/RcppCore/Rcpp/zipball/master
Installation failed: Bad credentials (401)

I copied travis-tools.sh file from github

Any help is appreciated

Can't tell why .netrc approach didn't work (probably R-client just ignores it unlike curl), but according to documentation, the right way to login using install_github is to set GITHUB_PAT environment variable. Perhaps, something like:

env:
  - GITHUB_PAT=$CI_USER_TOKEN

Basically, your log suggests that GITHUB_PAT was used for login attempt:

+Rscript -e 'devtools::install_github(commandArgs(TRUE),host = '\''https://api.github.com'\'', dependencies = FALSE)' RcppCore/Rcpp

Using GitHub PAT from envvar GITHUB_PAT
