Reinit is a python library that allows you to re-initialize a git repository. One can provide their username, password, new-output-repo name and input-repo url to the cli utility as arguments and the script will clean up the input repo, re-initialize it, and finally push it github.
Use the package manager pip to install reinit.
pip install reinitreinit --username=[github_username] --password=[github_password] --input_repo=[any_github_repo_url] --output_repo_name=[new_name_for_cloned_repo]Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
