After creating an initial demo repo to play around with Prismic I'm trying to create a new repo to work on a new app. everytime i add the new name i get this error: 
Creating new repository flowrise-demo-app ...
→ Failed to create repository flowrise-demo-app

Likewise! I just found this out while trying to help another forum post out. Must be a bug that found its way into 1.17.
In a pinch, make one on the web, then you can hook into it if it already exists. Hope that helps.
Any luck @odelia.finkel ? I tried again today after I saw new slicemachine version. I'm still unable to create new repositories via the slicemachine/init. I'm considering trying an older version to see if it works.
Ok so I got past my not being able to create repos. I ran
prismic logout
prismic login
Despite slicemachine/init showing that I was logged in, it apparently didn't like my status.
I will now test building.
Hi @nf_mastroianni,
Welcome to the community!
Thank you for the bug report. We also identified on our side a problem with the authentication, specifically to create a repository with the init.
We are currently fixing the bug: fix(init): Fix failed to create repository error in init by xrutayisire · Pull Request #1179 · prismicio/slice-machine · GitHub
It's the equivalent of what you're doing, logout to flush the stale authentication and login again.
It should be released next week 
Thank you,
Xavier
