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

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'

I have completed the feature it will be in the next release.

Would you mind using getpass if the "octogit login" command is only given one argument? It'd be cool to be able to use it with other people in the room and without leaving it in the shell history. It would also be nice to know where my password is being stored and to have a logout command that securely erases it. http://docs.python.org/library/getpass.html

if you raise the issue; I will look into incorporating it in a new release.

"You could at least tidy up the presentation." It's your grouchy tone.

I'm sticking to my guns on this one. Had my comment contained personal insults or bad language or negativity, I would agree with you. Try reading that sentence in a standoffish tone with furrowed eyebrows while scoffing at the author. Now read it again in a neutral tone with one eyebrow raised which places no judgement on the person but full judgement on the work itself. I was aiming for the latter. The bottom line i…

Your points in this comment are basically, "I didn't think it was rude so it's not rude" and "I was right so I have the right to be rude."

If you really think those things, I don't really know what to tell you to help you understand what rudeness is.

People that make projects using pip need to explain how to install pip. It doesn't come with Mac or Ubuntu by default. I know what the package is for Ubuntu but Mac, I have no idea. EDIT: after 5 minutes of Googling since "PIP" is a common acronym that stands for a bunch of things, you can install it on Mac via `easy_install` which comes on it by default. `sudo easy_install pip`

For what it's worth, the pip website does explain that you can install pip with easy_install.

Actually, it took me about 30 minutes to find how to install onto 64-bit Windows. You need to first install Python, then run the following:

Then you use easy install to install pip. That's how I got it working, but I'm a complete Python newbie!

Similarly, everyone else's points are basically "we think it's rude so it's rude".

For future reference, http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ contains tons of Python packages (including pip!) with nice installers for various Python versions.

Excellent! I went to submit it as an issue, but several people had beat me to it. Guess it's popular. Thanks!
