If anyone has the same problem: rm -rf org.jenkinsci.plugins.github.GitHubPlugin.cache/ solved the issue for me

Some of the comment went off sideways and distracts from the fundamental issue here, but the problem seems to be that OkHttp can cause cache corruption and if/when it happens it cannot recover from that without a human intervention.

Given that okhttp treats this is “not reproducible, closed”, I think the next step is to file a ticket to okhttp asking them to gracefully recover from cache corruption like this.

I’m afraid there’s nothing github-api can do with this problem.
