# replace USER and REPO with real values
# but *not* the "/user/" in the GitHub URL
$ curl -u 'USER' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"REPO"}'
# you will be prompted for your password
$ git remote add origin git@GitHub.com:USER/REPO.git

Create alias in git:
git config --global alias.gh-create '!sh -c "curl -u \"islomar\" https://api.github.com/user/repos -d \"{\\\"name\\\":\\\"$1\\\"}\" && git remote add origin git@github.com:islomar/$1.git" -'

Use alias:
$ git gh-create canvas-play # create the GitHub repository
$ git push -u origin master # push my repository to GitHub
