I followed the steps on [GitHub - prismicio-community/nextjs-starter-prismic-multi-language: Multi-language project with Next.js & Prismic](https://github.com/prismicio-community/nextjs-starter-prismic-multi-language)  
npx @slicemachine/init ends up with an error uploading documents

The problem solved by itself, however I get now the same problem with  
prismicio-community/nextjs-starter-prismic-multi-page

So honestly no clue what is going on...

Same issue the other way round (created online) then download starter. Strange.

npx degit prismicio-community/nextjs-starter-prismic-multi-page tmultipage && cd tmultipage && npx @slicemachine/init --repository tmultipage

Ok, got it. Running again

prismic login

solved the issue. What's weird is that repositories were listed correctly. Anyway
