Create a Github Repo from the Command Line (viget.com)

cf. https://github.com/node-gh/gh#repo

    gh repo --new foo

Or just use hub with all its associated goodness.

https://github.com/github/hub

Also try gh[1], a Go port of hub. It's faster (mostly due to the difference in speed between Go and Ruby), and it doesn't require Ruby be installed.

yea, why write a 40 ln shell script when you can install node, fork a repo, and then do the same thing and learn nothing
