A CLI Tool to automate the creation of github repositories

This is a simple, CLI tool that helps you to create github repositories.It adds all required integrations, teams, webhooks, etc.. all based on a configuration file that you define.

You can get the binary and play with it in your own environment (or even deploy it wherever you like it).Just go thereleases and download the latest one for your platform.

Move the downloaded binary to any place that's in your$PATH, usually you would add it to the local bin:

$ mv ~/Downloads/github-cli /usr/local/bin/github-cli$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/github-cli

After you havegithub-cli up and running we can create our first repository.First of all we have to create a configuration file that will customise how our repositories will be created. You can have a look at ourexample and copy it.

You will need to fill in the following values to be able to create a repo:

GitHub needs atoken with repo access. You can add additional collaborators and/or teams, the teams are defined by ID and the ID can be found with this simple cURL:

$ curl -s -i -X GET -u TOKEN:x-oauth-basic -d '' https://api.github.com/orgs/hellofresh/teams | grep -A1 "TEAM_NAME"

Check out descriptions on the other config values in thesample file.

This is used for creating GitHub tests. This just needs a GitHub token with repo access.

You can either write this file to be next to the binary or add it to~/.github.toml, we recommend the latter!
