| description | Default custom rules for creating new GitHub repos on this machine with `ghwrc`. Use whenever the user asks to create a new GitHub repository, initialize a new repo in the shared bare-clone/worktree layout, or create the remote and local worktree together. |
ghwrc Repo Creation Workflow
You are the agent supervising this machine. When the user asks to create a GitHub repo, create the remote and local worktree from here, then report the resulting repo URL and local path.
ghwrc creates the GitHub repository, then creates or reuses the local shared bare clone and adds a worktree under ~/Projects by default.
For OWNER/REPO, the normal layout is:
~/Projects/gh/OWNER/REPO/
├── .bare/
└── main/
Always pass exactly one visibility flag:
ghwrc --private OWNER/NEW-REPO main
ghwrc --public --add-readme OWNER/NEW-REPO main
ghwrc --internal OWNER/NEW-REPO main
Common creation options:
ghwrc --private --description "Short description" OWNER/NEW-REPO main
ghwrc --public --add-readme --license mit OWNER/NEW-REPO main
ghwrc --private --template OWNER/TEMPLATE OWNER/NEW-REPO main
ghwrc --private OWNER/NEW-REPO feature-x -b feature-x
If the new repo has no initial content and no explicit branch mode, ghwrc creates an orphan worktree so there is somewhere to make the first commit.
Paths and Flags
GHWRC_ROOT overrides the root; it defaults to ~/Projects.--repo-path PATH overrides the gh/OWNER/REPO path under the root.--bare-dir DIR overrides the shared bare repo path.--base BRANCH selects the branch used as the starting point when the repo has initial content.-b, -B, --detach, and --orphan are mutually exclusive.- Repository creation flags such as
--description, --homepage, --team, --template, --add-readme, --gitignore, and --license are forwarded to gh repo create.
- Clone, fetch, and
git worktree add flags such as --filter, --depth, --jobs, --track, and --reason are forwarded. Run ghwrc --help for the exact list.
The repo parser accepts forms such as OWNER/REPO, github.com/OWNER/REPO, git@github.com:OWNER/REPO.git, and https://github.com/OWNER/REPO.git. GitHub repos land under gh/OWNER/REPO; less specific names fall back to git/REPO.
