If you are like me, you don't like to create a GitHub repository on the GitHub website.
That's where the Github CLI comes. Using GitHub CLI we can create a GitHub repository with just a few commands from the command line.
*Before creating a repository using CLI we need to install it. *
You can install Github CLI from this Link.
STEP 1
Using the command line, navigate to the folder you trying to make a repository.
Then using the below command initialize the local directory as a Git repository.
git init -b main
STEP 2
To create a repository on Github we are going to use this command.
Make sure to change the "project-name" with the name you want your repository to be.
gh repo create project-name
STEP 3
Now, Follow the interactive prompts. If you don't like it. you can specify arguments to skip these prompts. For more information about possible arguments, see the GitHub CLI manual.
STEP 4
Pull changes from the new repository that you created.
git pull --set-upstream origin main
STEP 5
Lastly, add files edit files and push them to Github.
git add . && git commit -m "initial commit" && git push
Conclusion
I like this approach of making a Github repo. Cause I get to click less.
