Create a GitHub repository without leaving the Portal
Paste a GitHub token, choose the owner, and spin up a new repository directly from this page. All API calls
stay in your browser — nothing is stored by the portal.
Before you start
Generate a personal access token in GitHub → Settings → Developer settings.
For personal repos, use a classic token with repo (or
public_repo for public only) scope, or a fine-grained token that allows
repository creation.
When using a fine-grained token, enable Administration: Read and write so the Workbench can
create repositories through the GitHub API.
For organization repos, grant the token access to the org and enable Repository creation
permissions.
Keep the token handy — we only use it in this tab and never persist or log it.
