pyAuto — Automate Your Project Creation Workflow

pyAuto is a simple CLI tool that automates the tedious process of starting a new project. It creates a local project folder, initializes a Git repo, creates a remote GitHub repository, and opens the project in VS Code — all with a single command.

What It Does

• ✅ Creates a local project folder
• ✅ Creates a GitHub repository using your personal access token
• ✅ Initializes Git in the local folder and connects it to the remote repo
• ✅ Makes an initial commit with a README.md
• ✅ Pushes to GitHub
• ✅ Opens the project in VS Code
• ✅ All in one go.

Folder Structure

pyAuto/
├── pyauto.py       # Main Python script that handles repo creation
├── create.sh       # Bash script that ties everything together
├── .env            # Environment variables (not included in repo)

🛠️ Setup Instructions

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/J0na555/pyAuto.git
   cd pyAuto

2. Install Dependencies You need Python, python-dotenv, and PyGithub:

   pip install python-dotenv PyGithub

3. Create your .env file Inside the pyAuto directory:

   FILEPATH=/your/local/projects/directory/
   GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_YourPersonalAccessTokenHere
   USERNAME=yourGitHubUsername

4. Make the Bash script executable

   chmod +x create.sh

Usage

From your terminal:

./create.sh my-cool-project

This will:

• Create a local directory: $FILEPATH/my-cool-project
• Create a remote GitHub repo: https://github.com/<USERNAME>/my-cool-project
• Initialize Git, make an initial commit, and push to main
• Open the project in VS Code

Tired of repeating the same steps every time you start a project? pyAuto was built to cut setup time to seconds and let you focus on building.
