1	# GitHub Repository Management
2
3	Create, clone, fork, configure, and manage GitHub repositories. Each section shows `gh` first, then the `git` + `curl` fallback.
4
5	## Prerequisites
6
7	- Authenticated with GitHub (see `github-auth` skill)
8
9	### Setup
10
11	```bash
12	if command -v gh &>/dev/null && gh auth status &>/dev/null; then
13	AUTH="gh"
14	else
15	AUTH="git"
16	if [ -z "$GITHUB_TOKEN" ]; then
17	if [ -f ~/.hermes/.env ] && grep -q "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" ~/.hermes/.env; then
18	GITHUB_TOKEN=$(grep "^GITHUB_TOKEN=" ~/.hermes/.env \| head -1 \| cut -d= -f2 \| tr -d '\n\r')
19	elif grep -q "github.com" ~/.git-credentials 2>/dev/null; then
20	GITHUB_TOKEN=$(grep "github.com" ~/.git-credentials 2>/dev/null \| head -1 \| sed 's\|https://[^:]:$[^@]$@.*\|\1\|')
21	fi
22	fi
23	fi
24
25	# Get your GitHub username (needed for several operations)
26	if [ "$AUTH" = "gh" ]; then
27	GH_USER=$(gh api user --jq '.login')
28	else
29	GH_USER=$(curl -s -H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" https://api.github.com/user \| python3 -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['login'])")
30	fi
31	```
32
33	If you're inside a repo already:
34
35	```bash
36	REMOTE_URL=$(git remote get-url origin)
37	OWNER_REPO=$(echo "$REMOTE_URL" \| sed -E 's\|.*github\.com[:/]\|\|; s\|\.git$\|\|')
38	OWNER=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" \| cut -d/ -f1)
39	REPO=$(echo "$OWNER_REPO" \| cut -d/ -f2)
40	```
41
42	---
43
44	## 1. Cloning Repositories
45
46	Cloning is pure `git` — works identically either way:
47
48	```bash
49	# Clone via HTTPS (works with credential helper or token-embedded URL)
50	git clone https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
51
52	# Clone into a specific directory
53	git clone https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git ./my-local-dir
54
55	# Shallow clone (faster for large repos)
56	git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
57
58	# Clone a specific branch
59	git clone --branch develop https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
60
61	# Clone via SSH (if SSH is configured)
62	git clone git@github.com:owner/repo-name.git
63	```
64
65	With gh (shorthand):
66
67	```bash
68	gh repo clone owner/repo-name
69	gh repo clone owner/repo-name -- --depth 1
70	```
71
72	## 2. Creating Repositories
73
74	With gh:
75
76	```bash
77	# Create a public repo and clone it
78	gh repo create my-new-project --public --clone
79
80	# Private, with description and license
81	gh repo create my-new-project --private --description "A useful tool" --license MIT --clone
82
83	# Under an organization
84	gh repo create my-org/my-new-project --public --clone
85
86	# From existing local directory
87	cd /path/to/existing/project
88	gh repo create my-project --source . --public --push
89	```
90
91	With git + curl:
92
93	```bash
94	# Create the remote repo via API
95	curl -s -X POST \
96	-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
97	https://api.github.com/user/repos \
98	-d '{
99	"name": "my-new-project",
100	"description": "A useful tool",
101	"private": false,
102	"auto_init": true,
103	"license_template": "mit"
104	}'
105
106	# Clone it
107	git clone https://github.com/$GH_USER/my-new-project.git
108	cd my-new-project
109
110	# -- OR -- push an existing local directory to the new repo
111	cd /path/to/existing/project
112	git init
113	git add .
114	git commit -m "Initial commit"
115	git remote add origin https://github.com/$GH_USER/my-new-project.git
116	git push -u origin main
117	```
118
119	To create under an organization:
120
121	```bash
122	curl -s -X POST \
123	-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
124	https://api.github.com/orgs/my-org/repos \
125	-d '{"name": "my-new-project", "private": false}'
126	```
127
128	### From a Template
129
130	With gh:
131
132	```bash
133	gh repo create my-new-app --template owner/template-repo --public --clone
134	```
135
136	With curl:
137
138	```bash
139	curl -s -X POST \
140	-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
141	https://api.github.com/repos/owner/template-repo/generate \
142	-d '{"owner": "'"$GH_USER"'", "name": "my-new-app", "private": false}'
143	```
144
145	## 3. Forking Repositories
146
147	With gh:
148
149	```bash
150	gh repo fork owner/repo-name --clone
151	```
152
153	With git + curl:
154
155	```bash
156	# Create the fork via API
157	curl -s -X POST \
158	-H "Authorization: token $GITHUB_TOKEN" \
159	https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo-name/forks
160
161	# Wait a moment for GitHub to create it, then clone
162	sleep 3
163	git clone https://github.com/$GH_USER/repo-name.git
164	cd repo-name
165
166	# Add the original repo as "upstream" remote
167	git remote add upstream https://github.com/owner/repo-name.git
168	```
169
170	### Keeping a Fork in Sync
171
172	```bash
173	# Pure git — works everywhere
174	git fetch upstream
175	git checkout main
176	git merge upstream/main
177	git push origin main
178	```
179
180	With gh (shortcut):
181
182	```bash
183	gh repo sync $GH_USER/repo-name
184	```
185
186	## 4. Repository Information
187
188	With gh:
189
190	```bash
191	gh repo view owner/repo-name
192	gh repo list --limit 20
193	gh search repos "machine learning" --language
