Unable to start new spark project

Unable to start a new project as it fails to download dependency from Github. Clicking "Join Repository" for Joining Spark Repo, will result in exception page with the message "Whoops, looks like something went wrong."

Anyone experiencing the same thing? Trying to start a new project with Spark 6

Yeap. Filled in the token, also joined the Spark Aurelius repo as well.

How are you trying to install it? The installer, or composer?

Thanks for everyone's time. It has been resolved, my $PATH variable was pointing to the wrong version of Spark installer

I'm having the same problem when trying to click 'Join Spark GitHub Repository.' It worked, however, when I did 'Join Spark Aurelius GitHub Repository.' I'm not using the installer but installing via composer on Windows. The following line:

"laravel/spark-aurelius": "~6.0",

in my composer.json "require" field causes an error when running 'composer update' which is:

[RuntimeException] Failed to execute git clone --no-checkout "https://:@github.com/laravel/spark-aurelius.git" "C:\Users\coyca Code\flower-app\vendor\laravel\spark-aurelius" && cd /D "C:\Users\coyca\Code\flower-app\vendor\laravel\spark-aurel ius" && git remote add composer "https://:@github.com/laravel/spark-aurelius.git" && git fetch composer Cloning into 'C:\Users\coyca\Code\flower-app\vendor\laravel\spark-aurelius'... remote: Repository not found. fatal: repository 'https://:@github.com/laravel/spark-aurelius.git/' not found

Did you add the repository to your composer.json file?

"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "composer",
        "url": "https://spark-satis.laravel.com"
    }
],

Yes I did have the repository added, with no luck. Thanks

I noticed I got a direct invite to the repository after contacting support and now my composer command is working. Thanks for your help.
