my ~/.bashrc functions for creating and deleting github repos, tested on Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch)

.bashrc

#Tested with OS: Debian GNU/Linux 9.3 (stretch) x86_64
#bash --version
#GNU bash, version 4.4.12(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

# assumptions:
# 1) virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper are installed
# 2) github authentication using tokens
# 3) python2.7 default for new projects
# 4) paste onto end of ~/.bashrc and reload bash to be able to run mkgh, rmgh, mkpygh to save time when making new projects
