Doesn't support my username

[jgo4th]

Please provide us with the following information:

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

1. 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.5
   node: 4.3.1
   os: darwin x64

2. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn't created using the CLI? What change did you
   do on your code? etc.
   "ng init" returns "We currently do not support a name of josh.goforth."

3. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some
   more information.

4. Mention any other details that might be useful.
   This is just my user account on my mac. Don't understand why a simple user name could break it.

   Thanks! We'll be in touch soon.

Are you trying to create an angular application with a name with a period in it?

[jgo4th]

Created a new git repository, cloned into a folder called MasterDataClientTracking and cd inside and try to run 'ng init'. And I get the error

This name is my user profile name on my terminal shell

[aciccarello]

Odd. Tried looking at ember-cli to see if it was throwing this but I don't know why packageName would be resolved as the user name.

Does ng new give you the same problem?

Command: init.
OS: Windows 10.
Same issue with 1.0.0-beta.15.
Folder name in the format 'a.b'.
I created a symbolic link in the form 'a-z' and it worked.

Ah I see what's happening. You're running ng init on your user folder. We do not support project names with a dot, no.

Instead do ng new project-name with dash separators.
