“Bad Credentials” when attempting to create a GitHub repo through the CLI using curl

Question

I\'m trying to create a GitHub repo using the command line.

It was suggested here that you can use the following command:

curl -u \'USER\' https://ap         


        

Answer 1

What I would do :

 curl -u 'USER:PASWORD' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"REPO"}'

Tested OK on my github account. That way, you will not be prompted to type your password. It that doesn't work, maybe your password is not the good one (or username).
