Repro steps.

use cli to create app. create repo on github. add repo as remote to newly created app try ng github-pages:deploy follow instructions => error: Failed to create GitHub repo. Error: 422 Unprocessable Entity

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

Mention any other details that might be useful.

It looks like this happens because the cli attempts to create a repo itself (which already exists). Can the cli not check to see if a remote is already attached and if so just create the new branch with the deployed app? This error is not clear and requiring users to delete their repo on github (my workaround) seems like it is not the best solution.

I got the same error right now, my setup:

MacOS Sierra Version 10.12.2

angular-cli: 1.0.0-beta.26 node: 7.2.0 “@angular/common”: “^2.3.1”, “@angular/compiler”: “^2.3.1”, “@angular/core”: “^2.3.1”, “@angular/forms”: “^2.3.1”, “@angular/http”: “^2.3.1”, “@angular/platform-browser”: “^2.3.1”

Error is the same as one mentioned above, no stack trace.

[UPDATE] I was able to fix this issue, it seems that angular-cli was not able to create gh branch for existing repository. After I deleted it I got an error that remote origin could not be created cause it already exists. So after I removed remote it worked fine. It would be helpful if this deploy command could give more feedback on exceptions and errors.
