##Create a new repository on the command line
touch README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin git@github.com:alexpchin/<reponame>.git
git push -u origin master
##Push an existing repository from the command line
git remote add origin git@github.com:alexpchin/<reponame>.git
git push -u origin master
Never works for me. I think git was created as a joke.
If you still need to do the whole create repo on github website.
Just create repo, git clone and then push. So commands are just useless.
The above example talks creating repo at user level, how to create remote repo at organizational level. Thanks

" curl -u USERNAME:PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"myDirName"}' #this will create the repo in github.
This last command will save your Personal Access Token or password in your Bash history. If I find a way to prevent this I will update this comment."
The way to keep the PAC key from bash history is to use one space in front of any command.
If you want to delete the last history line manually use:
history -d $(($HISTCMD - 2)); history -w;
Or find the line number and use:
history -d <line number>; history -w;
since August 2021, using bare HTTPS with a username/password no longer works to create a repo on git. Instead, use a PAT (Personal Access token) created in the web API.
The samples above return:
{ "message": "Requires authentication", "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#create-a-repository-for-the-authenticated-user" }
Here's the way that will create a repository using cmdline:
curl -H "Authorization: token {your_personal_access_token}" https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"{new_repo_name}"}'
@Amondale Thanks for the reply, however I am still getting a Bad Credentials error. I also noticed that this command does not issue username...is there a previous command which you used? Thanks.
I still have some issues when using this command on Linux so I just switched to using the GitHub CLI package (apt install gh) and gh repo create <newrepo> --public. gh auth login has a quick little login utility.
hey @devxnsh if you set up your PAT in the web browser correctly, it won't be requiring the username/password, see this article for more info. Now that gh is out of beta, it should be the best approach rather than doing curling, as the Canadians say, eh?/
if i create new repository in git i want see automatically this step , how to create new repository in command line
I create a remote repo regarding flutter, and when i push the code to main, it displays that you don't have permission for this repo, access denied,
I think the problem was someone already has created the repo with same name which i tried to put.
If you go to the repo on your profile it now tells you these instructions.
First of all use github cli
gh
Authenticate github to use command line
gh auth login
Once you successfully authenticated , now you can create your repo from command line
gh repo create repo-name --flag
Here the repo-name could be the repo name you want to use and --flag is if you want to make the repo private or public if you want to make it public use --public for private --private
for example this will create myrepo as public repository
gh repo create myrepo --public
once you created the repo, now you can initiate git in your current directory project using
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git remote add origin git@github.com:username/<reponame>.git
git push -u origin master
to add the rest of your files use
git add .
git commit -m "Upload rest of files"
git push
if you face any error , you might need to check which branch is in use , you can change the branch using the following command
git branch -M main
now you can push the file to your repo
git push -u origin main
curl -u USERNAME:ACCESS_TOKEN https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"myDirName"}'
This command worked for me. Thanks a lot @nettcaster87. I was facing issue in authentication and could not be able to create repository using windows command line.
