gh repo create
gh repo create [<name>] [flags]
Create a new GitHub repository.
To create a repository interactively, use gh repo create with no arguments.
To create a remote repository non-interactively, supply the repository name and one of --public, --private, or --internal.
Pass --clone to clone the new repository locally.
If the OWNER/ portion of the OWNER/REPO name argument is omitted, it
defaults to the name of the authenticating user.
To create a remote repository from an existing local repository, specify the source directory with --source.
By default, the remote repository name will be the name of the source directory.
Pass --push to push any local commits to the new repository. If the repo is bare, this will mirror all refs.
For language or platform .gitignore templates to use with --gitignore, https://github.com/github/gitignore.
For license keywords to use with --license, run gh repo license list or visit https://choosealicense.com.
