This repository hosts scripts written in bash script and python to automate common Git/GitHub workflows. Normally to connect a local repository to GitHub one has to go to the GitHub website, create a new respository and then add the new GitHub repo as a remote for your local repository. The create_repo script automates this process.

• This script requires these python packages requirements.txt
• Git Bash installed on your computer.
• GitHub personal access token. (Go to your GitHub profile -> Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal Access Tokens -> Create new token with all the repo permissions)

Install the python dependencies by running the following commands in the project directory.

pip install -r requirements. txt

Now run these commands to configure the script.

./installer <GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN>
source ~/.bash_profile

After the installation is complete then the 'create_repo' command should execute in any directory.

• Run the command with a '-h' flag to see the help menu

create_repo -h

• Sample usage

create_repo <PATH_NAME> <REPO_NAME>

• <PATH_NAME> is the path where you want to create the local repository and <REPO_NAME> is the name for your repo
• Example:

create_repo . test-repo

The result is a local respository is created with a connected remote repository automatically!
