github-repository-automation

A simple python automation script, which initializes a repository on GitHub and clones it to your local machine.

Installation:

git clone "https://github.com/sergenciftci/github-repository-automation.git"
cd github-repository-automation
pip install -r requirements.txt
chmod +x create.py

Usage:

cd ~/github-repository-automation
python create.py -n <name of your repository>

You can store your username, GitHub access token and desired path in the .env file. These act as default arguments and can be overruled by passing them on script execution.

./create.py -n <name of your repository> -u <username> -t <GitHub token> -p <project base path> --public

Add the command with an alias to your ~/.bashrc, if you don't want to navigate to the <project base path>/github-repository-automation directory to execute the command.

alias <mycoolscript>="python <project base path>/github-repository-automation/create.py" >> ~/.bashrc

Now you can execute your command from anywhere.

mycoolscript -n my_new_repository
