2. Set the username and password variables to your github username and password in create-repositories\create.py (line 7 & 8). For example:

7   username = "<your GitHub username>" #Insert your github username here
8   password = "<your GitHub password>" #Insert your github password here

1. Insert your PS username in the first line of the file create.bat, like this:

1   cd C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\create-repositories\

2. Change the path in the third line to match the path for your projects in the create.py file, like this (%1 is taking the second argument that you type after create. See Usage):

3   cd C:\Users\<your username>\Documents\Projects\%1

3. Change the fith line so that your GitHub username is in the link. like this:

5   git remote add origin https://github.com/<your GitHub username>/%1.git
