Answer by daparic for Create a repo in Gitlab using CLI

Here is what I have in my ~/.bashrc

gitlify() {    [ $# -eq 0 ] && return 1    repo_name=$1    username=smeagol    token=01234567890    curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects?private_token=$token -d "{\"name\": \"$repo_name\"}"    if [ $? -eq 0 ];then        git init        git add .        git commit -m "first blood"        git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:$username/$repo_name.git        git push -u origin master    else        echo "error create gitlab repo $repo_name"    fi}

You have to first have a token for your username. Once this bash function is in placed, you can use it by:

mkdir /tmp/firstbloodecho '#hello world'> /tmp/firstblood/README.mdcd /tmp/firstbloodgitlify fallenangel

This snippet is only for gitlab.com. I have another one that I named gitify for github.com.
