GitHub Automation Scripts 🤖

This repository hosts scripts written in bash and python to automate common Git/GitHub workflows. Normally to connect a local repository to GitHub one has to go to the GitHub website, create a new respository and then add the new GitHub repo as a remote for your local repository. The create_repo script automates this process.

GITHUB_API_TOKEN = "Your GitHub personal access token"
USERNAME = "Your GitHub username"

• Step 3:

$ export PATH=$PATH":"$(pwd)"/scripts"

Make sure to backup the .bash_profile file elsewhere before making any changes to it.
