GitHub Repository Creation Tool

This tool automates the creation of repositories for a specified GitHub organization using Node.js and the GitHub API.

Features

• Create multiple repositories in a single run.
• Configure repository names and organization details through a config.json file located in the project root directory.
• Optional: Use environment variables for sensitive information.

Prerequisites

Before you can use this tool, you need to have the following:

• Node.js installed on your system.
• A GitHub personal access token with repo and admin:org scopes.

Installation

2. Navigate to the project directory: ```bash cd ```
3. Install the required npm packages: ```bash npm install ```

Configuration

Using config.json

1. In the root directory of the project, raname the config.json.smaple file to config.json. This file has the following structure: ```json { "token": "YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN", "orgName": "YOUR_ORG_NAME", "repoNames": ["repo1", "repo2", "repo3"] } ``` Replace YOUR_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with your GitHub personal access token, `YOUR_ORG_NAME` with the name of your GitHub organization, and update the `repoNames` array with the names of the repositories you wish to create.

Using Environment Variables (Optional)
