Create Repository from Template

Create a new private GitHub repository using the darrenbuse/claude-template template.

Steps

  1. Gather information using AskUserQuestion:

    • Repository name (kebab-case, e.g., my-awesome-project)
    • Avatar emoji (single emoji for the project, e.g., 🚀)
    • Description (brief description of what this project does)
    • Prerequisites (e.g., "Node.js 20+, Clojure CLI" or "Python 3.11")

  2. Create the repository:

    gh repo create darrenbuse/<repo-name> --template darrenbuse/claude-template --private --clone

  3. Navigate to the new repo:

    cd ~/Projects/<repo-name>

  4. Update README.md - Replace all <REPLACE:...> placeholders:

    • <REPLACE: Project Name> → repo name
    • <REPLACE: Brief description...> → avatar + description (e.g., "🚀 A tool for...")
    • <REPLACE: repo URL> → [email protected]:darrenbuse/<repo-name>.git
    • <REPLACE: project-name> → repo name
    • <REPLACE: Other prerequisites...> → prerequisites provided
    • Other <REPLACE:...> sections → remove or leave as TODOs

  5. Update package.json if exists:

    • Set name to repo name
    • Set description to avatar + description

  6. Install dependencies and commit:

    # Only if package.json exists
[ -f package.json ] && npm install
git add -A
git commit -m "feat: initialize <repo-name> from template"
git push

  7. Report success with the repo URL and next steps.

Example

User: "Create a new repo called data-pipeline"

Ask for:

  • Avatar: 🔄
  • Description: ETL pipeline for processing customer data
  • Prerequisites: Python 3.11, Docker

Result: Private repo at github.com/darrenbuse/data-pipeline with customized README.
