Ever had the need to create a branch in a repo on Github without wanting (or being able) to access a local repo?

With the aid of [the Github API][1] and any online request app this is a piece of cake!

Just follow these steps:

Open an online request app (like apirequest.io, hurl.it pipedream.com, reqbin.com, or webhook.site)
Find the revision you want to branch from. Either on Github itself or by doing a GET request from Hurl: https://api.github.com/repos/<AUTHOR>/<REPO>/git/refs/heads
Copy the revision hash
Do a POST request from Hurl to https://api.github.com/repos/<AUTHOR>/<REPO>/git/refs with the following as the POST body :

	FROM python:2.7

	MAINTAINER Solberg Audunsson <[email protected]>

	# Install uWSGI
	RUN pip install uwsgi pipenv

	# Standard set up Nginx
	ENV NGINX_VERSION 1.9.11-1~jessie

	const INCREMENT = 'INCREMENT', DECREMENT = 'DECREMENT';

	function reducer(state, action) {
	switch (action.type) {
	case INCREMENT:
	return state + 1;
	case DECREMENT:
	return state - 1;
	}
	}
