gh-repo: Create a new repository (if the repository name is not set, the default name will be the name of the current directory).

$ gh repo create ${name}

try on your machine

The command "gh repo create ${name}" is a command-line interface (CLI) command used with the GitHub CLI tool. It is used for creating a new repository on GitHub, where ${name} is a placeholder for the name of the repository you want to create.

When you run this command, the GitHub CLI tool communicates with the GitHub API to create a new repository with the specified name under your GitHub account. It can be used to quickly create a new repository without needing to manually navigate to the GitHub website.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

gh: It is the command to invoke the GitHub CLI tool.
repo create: It is the specific command within the CLI tool for creating a new repository.
${name}: It is a placeholder for the repository name you want to create. You need to replace ${name} with the actual desired name before executing the command.

For example, if you wanted to create a repository named "my-new-repo", you would run the command as follows:

gh repo create my-new-repo

The execution of this command would create a new repository named "my-new-repo" under your GitHub account.
