:bulb: This note explains how to create a remote repository from the CLI without using the GitHub web UI.

[01] Prerequisites

  • Use curl to create the remote repository via the GitHub API.
  • To call the GitHub API remotely, a User Token must be issued from GitHub.

[02] Issue a Token

User Profile → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens

  • To create a new token: click Generate new token.
    • For Select scopes, check the entire repo section.
  • To regenerate an existing token: select the token name, then click Regenerate token.
  • The generated token will be used for API calls.
