### Bug description

Hi, 

I am trying to create a blog deployed by GitHub Pages. However, the process [you are describing](https://quarto.org/docs/publishing/github-pages.html) is failing when I try to run the `quarto publish` command 

Here is what I get in my terminal:

My repo is hosted in this link: https://github.com/msh855/TheQuantEconomist 

As a side note, the way I created the `ph-pages` branch is by just creating a new branch from the `main` branch as the documentation on your website was not very clear on how to create `gh-page` branch. 

I am using Mac, if this helps.
