is the best way to quickly deploy high-quality projects on GitHub.
Why struggle through building something impressive when plenty of developers have already done it?
Just copy someone else's code and take credit for it!
Most devs have to go through the entire software development process. This is a long journey. It involves:
With i-made-this
, you can skip directly to step 6!
What does it do?
This script clones an existing github repository, renames it and publishes it to your github profile after removing the git history and license.
$ ./i-made-this
