Please provide us with the following information:

OS?

Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)
OSX 10.12.3

Versions.

Please run ng --version. If there's nothing outputted, please run in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

@angular/cli: 1.0.0-beta.31
node: 7.5.0
os: darwin x64
@angular/common: 2.4.7
@angular/compiler: 2.4.7
@angular/core: 2.4.7
@angular/forms: 2.4.7
@angular/http: 2.4.7
@angular/platform-browser: 2.4.7
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 2.4.7
@angular/router: 3.4.7
@angular/cli: 1.0.0-beta.31
@angular/compiler-cli: 2.4.7

Repro steps.

Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

• Create a new repo with a readme
• Clone the repo
• ng init

Selecting overwrite or skip, the CLI just aborts.

Workaround: Deleting the readme and running ng init the CLI runs initial setup as expected.

The log given by the failure.

Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.

No stack Trace output...

Mention any other details that might be useful.

---

Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

• Previous version of the CLI was removed, cache cleaned & verified to be nuked.
• CLI install executed without issue
