githuso v1.1.0

Githuso

A simple tool to help Github users create a new repository from the Command Line Interface (CLI).

Background

Githuso = Git + thuso. "Thuso" is a seSotho (one of 11 official languages in South Africa) word that translates to "help" in English.

Installation and Usage

You can use npm to install githuso:

npm install -g githuso

Giving githuso your username and repo name, it will return cURL script to run on command line to create a new Github repository. That way, you do not have to move away from your terminal, while initiating git, to create a new repo.

githuso -u goodmanluphondo -r newrepo

The command above will return somthing like:

curl -u 'goodmanluphondo' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"newrepo"}'

Once you have created your new repo, you will need to add an origin to your local repo. Run the following command and githuso will help you with one.

githuso -u goodmanluphondo -r newrepo --origin

You will then get a command to add an origin to your local repo.

git remote add origin git@github.com:goodmanluphondo/newrepo.git

And... Just like that, you will be set up and ready to go.
