I read the headline and hoped that they had come up with a way to create new repos from the command line. That being said, this is a great improvement, especially with the templates.
# create a repo for a new project
$ git init
$ git add . && git commit -m "It begins."
$ git create -d "My new thing"
→ (creates a new project on GitHub with the name of current directory)
$ git push -u origin masterEDIT: just checked on the issue and it looks like it had movement recently, so i'll be trying the possibly working branch.
Whoa, I had just used that feature last week. It used to be on the 'Account Settings' page near the password fields.
Requires Python 2.7 and Requests.
