Describe the bug

Version: gh version 1.11.0 (2021-06-03)

When you create a repository in the form of gh repo create <name> --description "a-description" --template <a-template> --public --confirm, the repository doesn't get the description you provided, the field is completely blank when you visit the repository.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a template repository
2. $ git init new-repo && cd new-repo
3. $ gh repo create new-repo --description "this does not appear" --template <template> --public --confirm
4. Go to the repository on GitHub, the About/Description section is blank

Expected vs actual behavior

I expect the description I pass to a repository on creation to be there when it's created.

I can create a repository through the GitHub UI with a template, provide it a description and the description is there as expected.

I can also create a repository with gh cli without a template and the description is there as expected.
