Create repo from CLI (Add to ~/.bash_profile)

gistfile1.txt

github-repo() {
  repo_name=$1
  dir_name=`basename $(pwd)`

  if [ "$repo_name" = "" ]; then
    echo "Repo name (hit enter to use '$dir_name')?"
    read repo_name
  fi

  if [ "$repo_name" = "" ]; then
    repo_name=$dir_name
  fi

  username=`git config github.user`
  if [ "$username" = "" ]; then
    echo "Could not find username, run 'git config --global github.user <username>'"
    invalid_credentials=1
  fi

  token=`git config github.token`
  if [ "$token" = "" ]; then
    echo "Could not find token, run 'git config --global github.token <token>'"
    invalid_credentials=1
  fi

  if [ "$invalid_credentials" == "1" ]; then
    return 1
  fi

  echo -n "Creating Github repository '$repo_name' ..."
  curl -u "$username:$token" https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"'$repo_name'"}' > /dev/null 2>&1
  echo " done."

  echo -n "Pushing local code to remote ..."
  git remote add origin [email protected]:$username/$repo_name.git > /dev/null 2>&1
  git push -u origin master > /dev/null 2>&1
  echo " done."
}

I like this a lot.
