Question

I am using the azure command line tools for Mac (version 0.6.2 of the tools, 1.0.1 of the azure tools installer for MacOS) and I am trying to create a website with a git repository using : azure site create MyUniqueApp --git.

I keep seeing this :

$ azure site create MyUniqueApp --git
info:    Executing command site create
+ Enumerating locations                                                        
+ Enumerating sites                                                            
info:    Updating existing site
+ Retrieving user information                                                  
error:   Access is denied.
error:   site create command failed

Running the same command without the --git option is successful.

$ azure site create MyUniqueApp

info:    To create a local git repository to publish to the remote site, please rerun this command with the --git flag: "azure site create MyUniqueApp --git".
info:    site create command OK

What am I missing?
