hub: Upload the current (local-only) repository to your GitHub account.
$ hub create
try on your machine

The hub create command is used to create a new repository on GitHub from the command line.

When you run hub create in your local project directory, it performs the following steps:

  1. It checks if you have a remote repository already linked to your current directory. If you do, it exits with a message.
  2. If you don't have a remote repository, it creates a new repository on GitHub with the same name as your current directory.
  3. It sets up the remote repository as the origin and adds the URL of the repository as a remote URL to your local Git configuration.
  4. Finally, it initializes a new Git repository in your current directory if it's not already initialized.

This command saves time by automating the process of creating a repository on GitHub and linking it to your local Git repository.
