git-repo-creator

A tool for creating remote GIT repositories

With git-repo-creator you can create a remote repository directly from your terminal! It is compatible with GitHub, Gitlab, and Bitbucket. It also allows to use HTTPS or SSH repositories.

Installation

$ npm install -g git-repo-creator

After creation

When a repository is sucessfully created, two things might happen:

• If the command is executed inside a folder containing a local git repository, a new remote will be updated/added with the new one.
• If the command is executed outside of a local git repository, a new folder (named after the repository) will be created, containing the new repo.

Example Usage

As a test, I am going to show you how to setup a GitHub account inside the tool, and how to create a remote repository:

First of all, we have to setup our credentials:

git-repo-creator config:github

This will launch a simple assistant that will ask you about your username and personal access token (for more info about this please refer to the bottom section)

Setup is done! Now, let's create our repository.

git-repo-creator create:github simple-test

When this command is entered, the tool will ask you if you want to add a description as well as whether you want your repository to be cloned as an SSH or HTTPS.
