Github repo creation is broken due to Github.com API upgrade

I'm thinking that we should create a Github kata that provides the steps to setup a repo on the github website. It would then walk them through the process of git init/add/commit/push. This would allow the student to practice the git process during a kata. I think that all the katas should have "commit your work" as one of the requirements. Thoughts @wbailey?

Looks like https://github.com/peter-murach/github is the way to do it now-a-days.

Hello @jasonnoble and @wbailey,

How about tryGit as a GitHub kata? My intuition says GitHub’s vision is enabling people to socialize remotely across geographies, and gamification of git’s ancillary.

To fix GitHub repo creation, please review https://github.com/wbailey/kata/pull/9 when your time permits. I made a design choice of retaining Ruby scaffolding in lieu of using auto_init. User experience wise, I imagine practitioners of Ruby katas prefer a simple flow from coding to auto-deploying, and avoid complexity of manual git wranglings. Thank you.

@lloydchang You may want to look at https://github.com/wbailey/code_katas and add the tryGit kata there.

@jasonnoble @wbailey Please review https://github.com/jasonnoble/code_katas/pull/1/ when your time allows. Thanks!

This should not be the case with the most recent release that uses octokit.
