automation of git repository creation using shell script

This code on execution create a parent folder if necessary and creates a new repositiry in your github account with the files of the specified folder pushed to the repository, commits a first commit.

It also automatically creates an empty "README.md" file if required and also a standard ".gitignore" file (attached to code)

Setup

Firstly, download the code and paste it at any folder where you can keep it permanently and note the directory of the file(say a/b/c/d)

next, open terminal and go to the home directory

cd ~/

check if ".bash_profile" named file exists or not in the hidden files list

ls -a

if not, create the file

touch .bash_profile

then open the folder and paste the following command

 alias new-git-repo=~/a/b/c/d/git_repo_creation/git_repo_creation.sh

note that new-git-repo is the name choosen for the shortcut command, you can give any arbitary name you want. a/b/c/d is the directory in which the file is downloaded. You should give the directory of the folder you downloaded there

and the setup is done

Instructions for use

you can type the command you gave the name in the setup for the shrotcut or alias in the terminal to get the instructions or follow the below instructions

new-git-repo

or the alias you've set

The command consists of 3 fileds as below

new-git-repo [--repository-name] [--directory-location] [--new-folder-creation]

'repositiory name' is same as the name of the required repository name on github, it gives the same name if new folder is created. this field is necessary

'direactory location' is the abbsolute(~/....) or the relative(./....) path of the folder location in your system. repositry will be created in your present directory and readme will be added. (no other files in the folder will be tracked)

the third field is specified if the folder does not exist and needed to be created in the given location if this filed is not mandatory, any given input is considered as an yes for the folder creation

many assumptions were made while writing the ".gitignore" file. You might wanna update the file if some of your files consistently stop adding or if you're facing any problem
