git_create -p

Adding Remote repository name

You can specify a different name for the remote repository with -n. Otherwise the local repo name will be used.

Switching Remote URL

By default, remotes are added by HTTPS. You can change this to SSH by adding -s, assuming you have your SSH keys setup.

Github Username

The tool simply fetches the username from git config user.name. If you don't have this set, the tool with prompt you to enter it beforehand.

Next steps

  • You will be prompted to enter your password and a description. The description can be skipped by simply pressing enter. If your password is incorrect, you will be prompted again.

  • If the above is successful, you will now have a repository created on your Github account.

Note

  • This will create a default README.md file including the name of your repository if none exist.
  • It is also suggested to create your own .gitignore, so you can ignore what files you don't want commited beforehand. All files get committed otherwise.
