New GitHub Repo

Quickly create new GitHub repositories and attach them to a git-enabled directory on your local computer.

gh-setup # set up current directory
gh-setup path-to-directory-to-set-up/

Install

1. Export the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable on shell startup (in your .zshrc, .bashrc, etc.)

   echo "export GITHUB_TOKEN=<your_github_token>" >> ~/.zshrc

2. Build with make to place the command on your path (in /usr/local/bin)

   make

Dependencies

1. This script works best when you have Python3 installed. If you don't, the script provides an option for you to manually go to GitHub and create the repo yourself, then come back to the script, yet this essentially defeats the convenience of this script.
2. The script uses PyGithub to create a GitHub repository via GitHub's API. gh-setup attempts to install PyGithub if you don't have it already.
