An easier way to create GitHub repositories

[tallowen]

Glad to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't know what to do with notifications on github.

Same here, my thought process whenever I see a new notification goes something like: "someone commented on my pull request? Two weeks ago? And I already replied to it?"

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.

Have you tried this? http://defunkt.io/hub/

    # 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 master

Here you go: https://github.com/chrisguitarguy/dotfiles/blob/master/util/...

Requires Python 2.7 and Requests.

Sidenote motivated by "If you need to upgrade your account to add a private repository, you can now do that inside of the new repository screen." : You'd be really shocked how valuable paying attention to thirty seconds of the user experience can be when they're the thirty seconds separating an established software company from tens of thousands of credit cards.

I guess I'm confused. Creating repositories was difficult?

I can't tell you how many times I spent > 5 minutes trying to find where to create a new repo for my organization.

It's easy for your eyeballs to gloss over those sidebars on the homepage, at top-level it looks like some detailed auxiliary info and not where you'd find critical functionality.

Anyone else shocked about the 9000+ notifications unread? Isn't that admitting it useless?

GitHub really needs to allow users to control their notifications and activity feed with finer granularity.

There are projects I work on, which I want to appear in my activity feed. There are projects I want to bookmark, which I don't want in my activity feed.

Right now the signal:noise ratio is terrible for activity feed and notifications.

[yuvadam]

Oh come on. Really, who cares about this?

Github has /so/ much more to fix before moving the New Repo button up to the top bar.

Cluttered news feed and activity stream and redundant notifications are issues that need desperate attention. Github, please fix them ASAP.

[technoweenie]

And we're working on /so/ much more than new repo screens too :)

Ha, the comments on that page look like an except from old school yahoo chat.

A/S/L?

I still want notification settings per organization membership.
