GitHub deploy not working

[yevbar]

I did a fresh installation of now-cli with npm and ran the following command:

$ now rauchg/slackin

(following this blog post)

The error I got was

> Error! The specified file or directory "slackin" does not exist"

Were GitHub deployments deprecated with the V2 API or is it something on my machine? If it's the latter, is there a REST endpoint that I could call to deploy a repository without cloning its contents?

I did go to deploy.now.sh with an example repository but got the following error:

Deploy failed, please check the repo and try again.

Hello @yevbar!

We have deprecated the usage of now user/repo for security concerns.
You can still deploy with git clone <url> && now <folder>
