Whenever I start a project, I don't go to create a new GitHub repository first. I instead open my terminal, git init
, vi .
and start with the coding process (no I don't use vi, that's my shell alias for nvim). When I'm satisfied with what I've written, then only do I go to GitHub and make a new repository. Now, GitHub asks if you want to add a license file which I would then have to pull to my local repository, commit and then push over all my other codes. This feels kinda annoying so I made this. For someone living inside a terminal, this is just perfect.
