Project Automator

Project Automator is a custom command that automates the process of creating a local repository, remote repository, and linking both repositories, when starting a new project.

Command Usage

Usage:
    create [options] <repo_name>

General Options:
        --help                  Show help.
    -h, --here                  Use current working directory as the FILEPATH.
    -l, --local                 If you have an existing remote repo and want to create a local repo
                                (Equivalent of using `git clone`).
    -p, --private               Creates a private, remote repository.
    -r, --remote                If you have an exisiting local repo and want to create a remote repo.

NOTE:
    --local & --remote (or -l & -r) cannot be used simulateneously,
    as that is suggestive of the basic 'create' command

Demo

create test_repo

create -h -l test_repo

create -p -r test_repo
