Create repository button disabled on GitHub

I am using macOS version 11.2.2 BigSur. I don't seem to be able to create a GitHub repository on the web (I am using safari). The button is greyed out or you say it as disabled. There is no other problem in naming, storage etc. Please suggest me some solutions.

here is a image of the disabled button

Try creating a repository with .gitignore without any template makes create repository button disabled.

.gitignore template: None -> create Repository button is disabled.

Now either deselect the option or select a template, will make the button enabled.

Try to remove the disabled attribute of the button using developer tools (inspect). It works for me.

The only required fields are:

  1. Owner
  2. Repository Name

Once those 2 fields have been filled out the button will be enabled.
