description	Create repositories using the real ralph-pipeline repo-create script

Repo

Create repositories using Ralph's three-tier git model:

1. GitHub remote repository
2. Bare repo at /mnt/store/git/<org>/<repo>
3. Local working clone

This Ikigai skill references the real script in the sibling ralph-pipeline checkout.

Script Location

Use:

• From ikigai repo root: ../ralph-pipeline/scripts/repo-create
• From this skill directory (share/skills/repo): ../../../../ralph-pipeline/scripts/repo-create

Usage

../ralph-pipeline/scripts/repo-create --org ORG --repo REPO [--private] [--local-path PATH]

Flags

Flag	Required	Default	Description
--org	yes	—	GitHub organization
--repo	yes	—	Repository name
--private	no	public	Create a private GitHub repo
--local-path	no	~/projects/<repo>	Local clone path

Output

{"ok": true, "org": "foo", "repo": "bar", "github": "foo/bar", "bare": "/mnt/store/git/foo/bar", "local": "/home/user/projects/bar"}

Examples

../ralph-pipeline/scripts/repo-create --org mgreenly --repo my-app
../ralph-pipeline/scripts/repo-create --org mgreenly --repo my-app --private
../ralph-pipeline/scripts/repo-create --org mgreenly --repo my-app --local-path ~/work/my-app

Pre-flight Expectations

The script validates before making changes, including:

• gh authentication
• bare repo path does not already exist
• local path does not already exist
• /mnt/store/git is writable

Error Handling

On failure, inspect the JSON output. It may include a completed array showing which steps already succeeded. Do not assume automatic rollback.
