mkrepo

Ready to go repos from the CLI ✈💡

What is this

mkrepo is a little wrapper aroundgithub-clithat allows you to make new repos even more quickly and sets up remotes so that you can jump straight into typing out code.

Inspiration

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.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:

• You have installed the latest version ofgithub-cli

• A template repo likemkrepo

Installing mkrepo

To install mkrepo, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/2kabhishek/mkrepo
cdmkrepo
#Link mkrepo to a directory that's in PATH (~/.local/bin here)
ln -sfnv"$PWD/mkrepo.sh"~/.local/bin/mkrepo

Using mkrepo

If you have an existing project, you can usemkrepo project_dirnameto create a new repo with the same name, and it will automatically set things up for you.

For new repos you can usemkrepoto create a new repo that uses the template you pass (mkrepo if empty) for setting things up.
