Prelude

While the git cli is expansive, it does not support creating new remote repositories directly from the terminal. Ref: forum post

We can however use hub to solve this slight annoyance..

---

1. Install hub via your preferred package manager, instructions here

2. Initialize a new git repo locally

       cd 
       mkdir my-new-repo; 
       cd my-new-repo
       git init

3. add some content, stage file and commit

       touch yello.md        
       git add -A
       git commit . -m "init"

4. create new repo on remote

    hub create #This will create a new repository on remote with name: my-new-repo 
   git push --set-upstream origin master #push to remote

Head over to github and check out your new repo: https://github.com

Cheers!

script.sh

#!/bin/bash
# simple script that pushes the repo to remote

# to prevent any accidental action, you have to first manually initialize the git repo yourself with "git init"

 
#check if there exists any files at all, if not then create a readme
touch readme.md;
git add -A;
#write a comment that 
git commit . -m "git repo initialized from script; init";
#check if there exists a repo under the same name
hub create;
git push --set-upstream origin master;
