gh-init

Initializes a local and a remote GitHub repo.

Use stand-alone or install as a gh extension with

gh extensions install fsncps/gh-init

Usage: gh init initializes a local repo with the name of the cwd, creates the same repo on GitHub and sets it as origin, then creates a minimal README and a default .gitignore, commits 'initial commit' and pushes to origin. You can set repo name, path, private/public and skip the README or .gitignore creation as follows:

$ gh init --help
usage: gh-init [-h] [-p PATH] [-n NAME] [--no-gitignore] [--no-readme] [-P] [-d DESC]
