A simple litte script. Create and push to a new github repo from the command line.

gitcreate.sh

#!/bin/bash

# https://gist.github.com/robwierzbowski/5430952/
# Create and push to a new github repo from the command line.  
# Grabs sensible defaults from the containing folder and `.gitconfig`.  
# Refinements welcome.

# Gather constant vars
CURRENTDIR=${PWD##*/}
GITHUBUSER=$(git config github.user)

# Get user input
read "REPONAME?New repo name (enter for ${PWD##*/}):"
read "USER?Git Username (enter for ${GITHUBUSER}):"
read "DESCRIPTION?Repo Description:"

echo "Here we go..."

# Curl some json to the github API oh damn we so fancy
curl -u ${USER:-${GITHUBUSER}} https://api.github.com/user/repos -d "{\"name\": \"${REPONAME:-${CURRENTDIR}}\", \"description\": \"${DESCRIPTION}\", \"private\": false, \"has_issues\": true, \"has_downloads\": true, \"has_wiki\": false}"

# Set the freshly created repo to the origin and push
# You'll need to have added your public key to your github account
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:${USER:-${GITHUBUSER}}/${REPONAME:-${CURRENTDIR}}.git
git push --set-upstream origin master

I've been looking to automate creating Github repos from the command line and setting an alias. I'm new to scripts and bash programming in general. How do I implement this script? Do I just clone this gist from the terminal? Is there anything else I need to do?

Python wrapper for Github gists - simplegist
On github - https://github.com/softvar/simplegist

• Creating gists returning the url, script and clone link for copy-paste purpose
• Checkout one's gists - Name(s), Description and Content
• Edit and Delete a gist
• Search GitHub user's gist - fork, star and unstar them
• List-all comments of any gist, make/edit a comment on a gist, delete a comment

@Itrainpr simply copy the contents to a bash file or simply clone this gist and run this bash script which which automatically ask u to enter your username, reponame and Repo-Description. It will also prompt you for your github password in order to push it directly to github.com without opening and creating using browser.

The read syntax doesn't work for me on OS X.

Use a fork instead!

Thanks @xixisao for the fork. You can also rewrite the bash reads like
read -p "Enter the foo value" foo

defunkts' hub is 100000* better than this. Go there!

I'm using

#Usage: gcreate userName repoName "Description if any"
gcreate () { 
  curl -u $1 https://api.github.com/user/repos -d "{\"name\": \"$2\", \"description\": \"$3\"}"
}

You can put it in .bash_profile / .bashrc and simply use gcreate

hi guys
I am using curl to create remote repository in GITHUB but it is getting error. Can anyone help me out which path i need to pass during curl command execution like GITHUB Url or github organization Url . Please it is urgent

when I am using curl below error i am getting

<title>405 Not Allowed</title>

405 Not Allowed

@bogas04 That's exactly what have trying to do the past 15 minutes, tks!

Did not work for me, I created a bash function with name gcreate using above contents, it gives following error:

$ gcreate
# now nothing appears, it does not ask for repo name, if I type repo name "hello" and press enter, it gives this error:
-bash: read: `REPONAME?New repo name (enter for github):': not a valid identifier

@bogas04, the function is simple and appealing, but, however, unfortunately, did not work.

$ gcreate bpJedisim repoName "Description if any"
Enter host password for user 'bpJedisim':
curl: (35) error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version

Is there a way to do that from sbt rather than shell ?

I get this error
curl: (35) error:1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
Pls help

It's not asking any username or repo name it is giving the following error

fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

pls help.

Sorry, I no longer maintain this code. There are probably better examples on the internet in 2019.

I'm using

#Usage: gcreate userName repoName "Description if any"
gcreate () { 
  curl -u $1 https://api.github.com/user/repos -d "{\"name\": \"$2\", \"description\": \"$3\"}"
}

You can put it in .bash_profile / .bashrc and simply use gcreate

Thanks, its amazing just what I was looking for.

Hello Team,

we have one task where we need to upload code with mulptiple branches into gitlab account. total project: 140 (approx) branches in each project :4-5 (average)

I have written one script to download all repository with branches from gitlab account.

Now we have to upload it in another gitlab account.

If anyone is intereseted in this u can write the script.

script should take code from local system with branches and upload it in gitlab one by one. we can refer to gitlab API.
