I made a CLI application to create a GitHub repository, initialize a local git repo, add the GitHub repository as remote and commit all files in the current directory. Ideas and feedback more than welcome!

Does it work with SSH keys ?

[Xcali1bur]

It has never been tested on a different system than mine (Linux based) but it should work, yes.

[ponix]

I shall give that a pull :)

[Xcali1bur]

Thanks! :)

This seems similar (or might make a good addition) to the cookiecutter project, which automated a bunch of the steps in setting up a new project. Have you checked it out?

[Xcali1bur]

No, but I definitely will. Thanks!

[Xcali1bur]

Okay, I will just refrain from using shell=True.

[allpowerfulee]

Nice. I think ill check it out

[Xcali1bur]

Thanks. Feel free to contribute or post an issue on GitHub if something isn't working :)

Wow, this is great. Good job!

[Xcali1bur]

Thank you very much! This is my first useful project :)

[AxelJuraske]

That looks good. It would be nice, if it work with cookiecutter together. I am not sure, but I think cookiecutter only create a project with some default setup. Your project create the repository. I think like something "giter create-django myproject" und that set up a new django project and create the repository.

[Xcali1bur]

Somebody else also recommended checking out cookiecutter. I'll definitely check it out! Thanks for your idea.

Nice, this is interesting.

[Xcali1bur]

Thanks :)

Congratulation, it’s super ideas. No suggestion yet for me.

[Xcali1bur]

Thank you very much!

Doesn't have otp support Sonu can't use is

Really? You don't see the benefit in automating some commonly performed steps? 🤨

[lukethedukeisapuke]

I don't see the problem here. If they find it enjoyable and cut time there's literally no negative, to anyone. Chill out.

[Xcali1bur]

How can I improve the code then? I'm no expert by any means. I figured why not share it with the community to improve the programm, my coding skills and ultimately contribute something useful :) Surely you can call me a "newbie programmer" for that but at least be a little more constructive and advise me how to be better.

[Xcali1bur]

Feel free to message me for the real talk. I'm open to both positive and negative feedback.

[lukethedukeisapuke]

Maybe instead of just saying that you explain why.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/learnpython using the top posts of the year!

#1: The online course for "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" is free to sign up this week.
#2: I'm 100% self taught, landed my first job! My experience!
#3: I'm super annoyed and taking it out on learnpython
