Automatically create GitHub repo from terminal

• This implementation is geared towards being used as a function in a .zshrc file
• This implements the GitHub API and some basic terminal commands to make automation smooth

Functionality

• This function does the the following:
  • Create new directory and navigates into it
  • Prompts the user for a description for the GitHub repository
  • Creates GitHub repository with the name given in the command
  • Creates a README
  • Initialises a repository
  • Adds and commits that README
  • Adds the remote origin repository
  • Pushes changes to the remote origin repository in master
  • Opens Visual Studio Code of the project (edit to suit preference)

Installation

• Add function from create.sh to your .zshrc file
• Edit function to suit your needs
  • Function name to change git-create
  • Github username
  • Initial commit message
  • Initial README contents

Usage

• Navigate to the root directory for your desired project folder
  • i.e /user/Documents/Projects
• Execute git-create <desired-repo-name>

Future Additions

• Storing of GitHub password for even less human input experience
• Make initial commit and README contents input options rather than (slightly) static messages
  • Like how the description currently operates

New Additions

• Added the ability to input a description to then be used as the GitHub repository description
