hello, I faced same issue with that
it's related with two issues:

• 'https://git.io/JqJiC' link owner changed their id from yooksi to matshou
• anyway git.io short link will be deprecated soon

so if you want to just solve this then replace it as below

apply from: 'https://gist.githubusercontent.com/matshou/540f0c59633cd0f857a74848be7ccfc3/raw/changelog.gradle'

maybe you already solved or not working on this repo, anyway hope it helps
