Thank you to the developers for this sleek tool!
I was able to properly set up a key using fj auth add-key , and then tried many different combinations for fj repo create according to the wiki, but I always get the same error message:
Error: no repo info specified
Location:
src/repo.rs:192:29
I'm not sure if I'm missing something but maybe a clear sequence of examples could be set on the main wiki page would be helpful.
EDIT:
I figured out that you first need to add a remote with git remote add origin <REPO_URL>. Would it be possible to add this with examples in the documentation?

Yes, fj looks to the git remotes to figure out what the URL of the instance is. If it can't find it, you can set the --host <URL> option.
A wiki page on instance detection is a good idea. I also want to improve that error message.
