Feature Idea Summary
With the Baptiste preview, GitHub have introduced an API to Create a new repository from a template.
I propose a new function New-GitHubRepositoryFromTemplate to leverage this new API.
A new IsTemplate parameter has already been added to the New-GitHubRepository and Update-GitHubRepository functions as part of PR #192 which allows repositories to be marked as templates.
Feature Idea Additional Details
Proposed parameters:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| RepositoryName | Mandatory String | Name of the repository to be created. |
| OwnerName | Mandatory String | Owner of the repository to be created. If not specified, the DefaultOwnerName configuration property value will be used. |
| TemplateOwnerName | Mandatory String | Owner of the template repository. |
| TemplateRepositoryName | Mandatory String | Name of the template repository. |
| Description | String | A short description of the repository. |
| Private | Switch | By default, this repository will be created Public. Specify this to create a private repository. |
| AccessToken | String | If provided, this will be used as the AccessToken for authentication with the REST Api. Otherwise, will attempt to use the configured value or will run unauthenticated. |
| NoStatus | Switch | If this switch is specified, long-running commands will run on the main thread with no commandline status update. When not specified, those commands run in the background, enabling the command prompt to provide status information. If not supplied here, the DefaultNoStatus configuration property value will be used. |
