And when you re-run this script to get the other created, here is the error:
Your Github CLI (gh) version is: 2.5.2

It worked for me yesterday. I guess double-check your client levels (oc & gh) and whether you are running the script from under your GitHub local directory. I got all 4 repos created in my fork and cloned successfully.

Strange. I does fail over an over here.
My gh has been updated this morning before running it.

Changing this in the create_repos.sh did the trick:
From:
gh repo create ${GIT_ORG}/multi-tenancy-gitops-infra --public --template https://github.com/cloud-native-toolkit/multi-tenancy-gitops-infra --clone

To:
gh repo create ${GIT_ORG}/multi-tenancy-gitops --public --template https://github.com/cloud-native-toolkit/multi-tenancy-gitops
gh repo clone ${GIT_ORG}/multi-tenancy-gitops

Now it works.
We do a PR or more investigation?

[dthiesse]

Interesting and puzzling. Why don't you do a PR and we can let @hollisc and other reviewers decide. I'm glad you found a solution, and maybe we could avoid any problems for others by making the change.

[rikgig]

Sure is.
Ok I'll do that (the PR).
@hollisc is aware we were discussing on Webex and was able to show live both the problem and he suggested the gh fix :)

[hollisc]

@dthiesse , can you check what version of gh you are using? From checking with a few ppl, the issue appears to happen if using version 2.5.2

[dthiesse]

@hollisc I am using gh version 2.5.2 (2022-03-01)
