Hi Sabarik,

Thank you for your feedback!! 🙂 I am guessing you have an old version of the `delivery-cli` that had a bug with the `delivery init` command. The good news is that we have fixed the problem so you just need to upgrade the CLI and try it again.

Delivery CLI `v0.0.26`: [https://bintray.com/chef/current/delivery-cli/0.0.26/view](https://bintray.com/chef/current/delivery-cli/0.0.26/view)

Just to be sure I would like you to share the version you are using before you actually upgrade the delivery-cli. You can get the version with the command: `delivery -V`

Let us know if you have any other issue.
