This error tells me the API requests to your remote system (e.g. github) is not functioning properly. This error message specifically tells me the response is malformed.

I regist the user in gogs, and fixed it。 administrator can’t see all the repos, so if I wan’t to trust a repo, I must add administrator to the repo collaborator？

Had a slightly different issue when adding myself as administrator after I already signed in as a normal user.  
I manually deleted my self from the PG-DB and then logged in after I’m admin in the config.  
All problems were gone.
