mkrepo is a little wrapper around github-cli
that allows you to make new repos even more quickly and sets up remotes so that you can jump straight into typing out code.
I make a lot of projects (as you might have seen on my GitHub profile), and I needed a tool to fasttrack the first commit.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
-
You have installed the latest version of
github-cli
-
A template repo like mkrepo
To install mkrepo, follow these steps:
git clone https://github.com/2kabhishek/mkrepo
cd mkrepo
# Link mkrepo to a directory that's in PATH (~/.local/bin here)
ln -sfnv "$PWD/mkrepo.sh" ~/.local/bin/mkrepo
If you have an existing project, you can use mkrepo project_dirname
to create a new repo with the same name, and it will automatically set things up for you.
For new repos you can use mkrepo
to create a new repo that uses the template you pass (mkrepo if empty) for setting things up.

Arguments:
