GitHub Repository Creator

Creates new GitHub repositories with professional setup using the gh CLI.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub CLI (gh) must be installed and authenticated
  • Run gh auth status to verify authentication

Instructions

When creating a GitHub repository:

1. Gather Information

Ask the user for:

  • Repository name (required)
  • Description (optional but recommended)
  • Visibility: public or private (default: private)
  • Initialize with: README, .gitignore, license

2. Create the Repository

# For a new repo (not from existing folder)
gh repo create <repo-name> --public/--private --description "description" --clone

# For existing local project
gh repo create <repo-name> --source=. --public/--private --push

3. Common Options

Flag Description
--public Make repository public
--private Make repository private
--description "text" Add description
--clone Clone the new repo locally
--source=. Use current directory as source
--push Push local commits to new repo
--gitignore <template> Add .gitignore (e.g., Node, Python)
--license <license> Add license (e.g., MIT, Apache-2.0)

4. Post-Creation Setup

After creating the repo:

  1. Confirm the repo was created successfully
  2. Provide the repository URL to the user
  3. Suggest next steps (add collaborators, set up CI/CD, etc.)

Examples

Create a new public repo and clone it:

gh repo create my-awesome-project --public --description "A cool project" --clone

Create repo from existing local project:

gh repo create my-project --source=. --private --push

Create with README and MIT license:

gh repo create my-project --public --add-readme --license MIT

Future Enhancements

  • Auto-generate repository banner/social image
  • Template selection for common project types
  • Automatic branch protection rules setup
