Answer 1

After running the firebase login command, do not delete the Firebase CLI Login Successful page in the browser and then run the firebase init command from the command line.

Answer 2

After logging into firebase with firebase login you will need to do: firebase init and then select the correct options when prompted. be sure to press the space bar to check the functions circle in the command line.

Answer 3

firebase init

or

firebase init hosting

And then popup question: Set up automatic builds and deploys with GitHub? No

Answer 4

firebase init didn't work for me, but firebase init hosting did. You can read the firebase hosting initialization docs here.
