hub: `hub create` returns 403 but I have valid permissions.

I’m trying to create a new repo in my organization where I’m not the admin.

When I try hub create ORGNAME/REPONAME post initialization I get a message:

Error creating repository: Forbidden (HTTP 403) You need admin access to the organization before adding a repository to it.

I have confirmed that I can create repos via the browser and I have two factor authentication.

@mislav Apologies for delayed response, a lot’s been going on the last few months. 😃 More importantly. I think I’ve identified the issue. This is silly but when looking back at the issue I realized that when I was using the hub api, I set private=true but while using the hub command I didn’t use the private flag -p.

Using the private flag solves this issue.
