Bash function that creates a private BitBucket Repository for your current local Git repository

add_bb.sh

# Creates a private BitBucket repository with one call from bash
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Uses the BitBucket REST API to create a new private, non-forkable repository
# for the local Git repository your currently staying in.
# The content of your local repository gets pushed after the repository is created.
#
# Prequisites:
# - you must have curl installed
# - your local repo must not have a remote already connect to a bitbucket repo
# - your local repo must not have an origin 'remote'
# - has been tested on MacOs and Linux
#
# Install
# - Add this method to your .bash_profile or .bash_rc and source the file (or login again)
#
# Usage
# 1. Switch to a directory that is a git repository (i.e. have a '.git'-folder inside)
# 2. run 'add_bb' from your bash prompt (you will be asked for your BitBucket username and password)
#
# NOTE
# The name of the BitBucket repository will be determined from the last part of the directory
# you are currently in. 
# (Path '/home/nils/repos/My First Git Repo'  would become my_first_git_repo in BitBucket)
# If that's not good for you, you can specify a repository name as first parameter to the 
#  method call: add_bb another_repo_name
#
