Ref #329

I had an existing project which was only local for noflo-browser runtime
I went to Settings, added "jonnor/cad-ir-filter" to github repo field. When pressing Save, I get "Repository not available"

The JS console shows POST https://api.flowhub.io/projects 422 (Unprocessable Entity)

There is one graph and one component in the project

@jonnor can you verify you have a working GitHub token that can access an existing GitHub repo at https://github.com/jonnor/cad-ir-filter

I'm getting 404 from there which means it is either private or hasn't been created. Flowhub doesn't create repositories for you

@bergie Who/what is supposed to create repository?

jonnor commented 10 years ago

The token works, I can now sync down noflo/noflo-ui for instance

bergie commented 10 years ago

@jonnor you are supposed to create repository using the GitHub UIs. Just repo name wouldn't be enough now that we support private repos etc.

bergie commented 10 years ago

Now, a feature request on creating new repositories from Flowhub might or might not make sense 😉

jonnor commented 10 years ago

It is a bug that we don't tell the user that they must create the repo themselves

Trying to add a link to Github new repo to message
