ProcessError: fatal: could not create work tree dir '../../../../usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli-ghpages/node_modules/gh-pages/.cache': Permission denied

Hmmm... strange. I'm not on a Mac, so I can't reproduce.
The .cache directory does not have the write/create permission to create the repo.

Please try this as a quick workaround:
sudo chown -R **yourusername** /usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli-ghpages/node_modules/gh-pages/.cache
(as seen here http://stackoverflow.com/a/23151665/2042765)

@fmalcher can you kick in, when you have some spare time?

see also tschaub/gh-pages#118

[JohannesHoppe]

we could also add the --clone parameter to our command, to avoid this at all https://github.com/tschaub/gh-pages#optionsclone

Thank you!
Looks like this one worked for me:

sudo chown -R **yourusername** /usr/local/lib/node_modules/angular-cli-ghpages/node_modules/gh-pages/

[JohannesHoppe]

Fixed in gh-pages, see nkbt/react-works@7b0a9e0 and tschaub/gh-pages#118

@gkucmierz sudo ngh worked for me

[tomGdow]

sudo chown -R **username"" /usr/lib/node_modules/angular-cli-ghpages/node_modules/gh-pages/

also worked for me (Angular 4). Thanks!

I tested this out on CircleCI 2.0 and it works flawlessly via npx. (Nodejs 8 or higher required)
No sudo required.

npm i angular-cli-ghpages --save-dev
npx ngh [OPTIONS]
