This Python script automates the process of initializing a local project directory as a Git repository, creating a corresponding repository on GitHub, and pushing the local repository to GitHub. It is designed to be user-friendly and efficient, with interactive prompts and automatic dependency handling.

• Interactive Setup: Prompts for GitHub credentials if not set as environment variables.
• Automatic Dependency Installation: Checks for and installs required Python libraries.
• Initializes a local Git repository: Uses main as the default branch.
• Creates a new repository on GitHub: Supports public or private repositories.
• Pushes the local repository: Links and pushes your code to the newly created GitHub repository.
• User-Friendly: Simple and clear interactive prompts.
• Error Handling: Provides informative error messages for common issues.

• Python 3: The script is written in Python 3.
• Git: Git must be installed on your system.
• GitHub Account: A GitHub account is required to create repositories.

1. Download the create-github-repo-from-local-dir.py script to your project directory.
2. Make the script executable (optional, but recommended):

   chmod +x create-github-repo-from-local-dir.py

1. Navigate to your project directory in the terminal.
2. Run the script:

   python3 create-github-repo-from-local-dir.py

   or if you made it executable:

   ./create-github-repo-from-local-dir.py

3. Follow the interactive prompts:
   • If the requests library is not installed, the script will ask for your permission to install it.
   • If your GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_USERNAME are not set as environment variables, the script will prompt you to enter them.
   • You will be asked if you want your new repository to be public or private.

The create-github-repo-from-local-dir.sh script is now deprecated. The Python script (create-github-repo-from-local-dir.py) is the recommended tool as it is more robust, feature-rich, and user-friendly.
