New Function Proposal: New-GitHubRepositoryFromTemplate

[X-Guardian]

Feature Idea Summary

With the Baptiste preview, GitHub have introduced an API to Create a new repository from a template.

I propose a new function New-GitHubRepositoryFromTemplate to leverage this new API.

A new IsTemplate parameter has already been added to the New-GitHubRepository and Update-GitHubRepository functions as part of PR #192 which allows repositories to be marked as templates.

Feature Idea Additional Details

Proposed parameters:

Name	Type	Description
RepositoryName	Mandatory String	Name of the repository to be created.
OwnerName	Mandatory String	Owner of the repository to be created. If not specified, the DefaultOwnerName configuration property value will be used.
TemplateOwnerName	Mandatory String	Owner of the template repository.
TemplateRepositoryName	Mandatory String	Name of the template repository.
Description	String	A short description of the repository.
Private	Switch	By default, this repository will be created Public. Specify this to create a private repository.
AccessToken	String	If provided, this will be used as the AccessToken for authentication with the REST Api. Otherwise, will attempt to use the configured value or will run unauthenticated.
NoStatus	Switch	If this switch is specified, long-running commands will run on the main thread with no commandline status update. When not specified, those commands run in the background, enabling the command prompt to provide status information. If not supplied here, the DefaultNoStatus configuration property value will be used.
