What it does?

  • Github Create Repo is a small website made using NestJS in the backend and basic HTML CSS in the frontend.
  • It allows anyone to authorize their github account and the code will create a sample repo with some files in their account.
  • On clicking on Create Repo button, it will take the user to their Github account where they can grant permissions to their account.
  • After authorisation is complete, it will create a repo named sample-code in the user’s account with some sample code.
