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.
