Welcome back to the 2nd and final part of the tutorial on how to build a simple CLI tool that can automate GitHub workflows.
Step 7: New_repo.js (newRepo)
Use octokit's repos.createForAuthenticatedUser() to create a remote repository.
Step 8: New_repo.js (ignoreFiles)
Use glob to list all files and inquirer to let users select which files to add to .gitignore.
Step 9: New_repo.js (initialCommit)
Use simple-git to:
1. git init
2. git add .gitignore
3. git add ./*
4. git commit
5. git remote add origin
6. git push
Final Product
The completed CLI tool can now:
• Authenticate users
• Create remote repos
• Initialize git
• Create .gitignore
• Commit and push files
Optional: Publishing
Add "bin" property to package.json, then publish to npm.
Conclusion
We've built a complete CLI tool with Node.js. Thanks for reading!
