this. i'm all for little utility scripts like this but it'd be much easier to do with gh
Also, i wouldn't recommend a thing that you have to copy into your repo. Better to just have wrappers like this that live in your personal bin directory and get run from within the folder.
so, to summarize:
1. nifty idea
2. most of the steps are easier via gh
3. don't copy scripts into a dir, to run them. just leave them in your path.
