    Hello Ali Qureshi

    The error message "An error occurred while sending the request" can occur for a few reasons when creating a repository from Visual Studio 2022. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

    • You may not have an internet connection. Make sure that you are connected to the internet and that your firewall is not blocking outgoing connections.
    • You may not have configured your Git credentials correctly. In Visual Studio, go to Tools > Options > Git > Credential Manager and make sure that your credentials are correct.
    • There may be a problem with the GitHub server. Try creating the repository again later.
    • There may be a problem with your Visual Studio installation. Try restarting Visual Studio or reinstalling it.

    If you are still getting the error message, you can try the following:

    • Create the repository from the GitHub website instead of Visual Studio.
    • Use a different Git client, such as GitKraken or GitHub Desktop.

    If you are still having problems, you can contact Microsoft support for help.

    Here are some additional things to keep in mind when creating a repository from Visual Studio 2022:

    • You need to have a GitHub account in order to create a repository on GitHub.
    • You need to specify the name of the repository and the location where you want to create it.
    • You can also choose to initialize the repository with a README file and a .gitignore file.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
