Example repo for automatize repo creation with CI/CD

In this example we'll use CircleCI as a CI/CD tool

1) Create CircleCI config file

CircleCI config (.circleci/config.yml) will help you to use ghctl docker image to run ghctl commands inside

2) Create repository config file

Describe your repository config in some YAML file, e.g. repositories/ms-example.yml

3) Create CircleCI context

CircleCI context will help you to keep environment variables secure. Create two environment variables in that context:

• GITHUB_ORG environment variable with value for your organization
• GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable with value for your API token. More about creating API token

4) Apply repo-creation

On push to master, CircleCI will apply your changes and will create repository with following command:

$ ghctl apply -f ms-example.yml
