ProcessError: fatal: could not create work tree dir ‘…/…/…/…/usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli-ghpages/node_modules/gh-pages/.cache’: Permission denied

Hmmm… strange. I’m not on a Mac, so I can’t reproduce. The .cache directory does not have the write/create permission to create the repo.

Please try this as a quick workaround: sudo chown -R **yourusername** /usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli-ghpages/node_modules/gh-pages/.cache (as seen here http://stackoverflow.com/a/23151665/2042765)
