github-repo-management

You can automate GitHub repository creation and CI/CD secret management by using this skill to create the repository, configure default branches, and set up essential GitHub Actions secrets via the gh CLI or REST API.

Managing GitHub Actions workflows and releases is handled directly by this skill, enabling you to interact with workflow runs, configure repository settings, and manage release deployments efficiently through git commands or curl API calls.

Yes, you can use the gh CLI to fork repositories and configure their settings. This skill supports both the gh CLI and direct git commands, allowing you to manage topics and branch protection rules flexibly.

You do not need direct git and curl API calls if the gh CLI meets your needs, but this skill supports both methods. The dual support provides flexibility for repository lifecycle management when interacting with the GitHub REST API.

While the skill manages branch protection rules and repository settings, limitations of the GitHub REST API may restrict complex custom configurations. Direct curl API calls provide granular control but require exact payload formatting for branch protection rules.

Cloning a GitHub repository into a local directory is executed through standard git commands or gh CLI integration. This action copies the repository data to your local environment for further development and configuration management.
