Seems pretty neat, but I personally find 'hub' (https://github.com/defunkt/hub) a better fit: it acts as a filter to git itself. This might be interesting for issues handling. (But it could probably be added to 'hub').

There are some things in 'hub' that aren't working in the release because of github's move away from user tokens—but there's an active branch with a proposed fix.

They were working on providing CLI OAuth waiting for that; It was mainly to scratch an itch I had. If others can benefit from it great. I will keep it maintained and in working order.

I built this. If there are bugs makes issues; I will fix them. I welcome suggestions and feature requests.

Not a bug, just a question. 'octogit login' says "You need both a password and username to login". Where do I provide them?

octogit login

I am updating the site now.

Very cool, does it support organizations? Eg, can octogit create a repo in one of my organizations, instead of my main account?

Perhaps:

octogit create git@github.com:org-name/new-repo-name.git 'new repo desc'

Is it possible to use an oauth-based thing instead? I don't know if github lets you do much with oauth, I'm just a little wary of storing my password in what would presumably be plaintext.

You could at least tidy up the presentation.

> A free, open source solution for creating github repositories from the commandline avoid the usual copy and paste. Keep up to date on issues, and much more.

Needs a comma.

> octogit login &ltusername> &ltpassword> # allows you to store your github authetication data octogit create &ltreponame> 'description' # lets you create the repository both locally and on github octogit issues # lets you see all the related issues in the current repository octogit issues &ltnumber> # lets you see a specific issue with summary octogit issues &ltnumber> close # lets you close an issue

&lt's everywhere.

The "follow" link's right hand corners are cut off.

The title is showing Octogit plus a unicode D with a horizontal line through it (can't seem to paste it here).

EDIT: Downvotes for constructive criticism? Really?

As soon as they implement a CLI based OAuth, I will definitely add it.

I understand your concerns, but if someone has access to your machine your Github password is the least of your worries.
