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 [email protected]:${USER:-${GITHUBUSER}}/${REPONAME:-${CURRENTDIR}}.git
git push --set-upstream origin master

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.
