Create repo shortcuts

“

- [Ray] You're probably familiar with how easy it is to create a new repo. I'm going to click on this plus sign and then hit the new repository option here and this takes you to a simple form you can fill out to create a new repository. If you're already logged in to GitHub on your browser, there's a couple of ways that you can do that quicker. First, notice that the site on your URL bar now says, github.com/new. This means that you can use that to create a new repo. You can also use a couple of shortcuts to create repositories. I'm going to click on this URL toolbar and type in github.new. This brings me to the same form as long as I'm already logged in to GitHub. If you're even more of a minimalist, you can type in repo.new. This will take you to the same place. Also if you use a related feature called gists to create code shortcuts, you can create a new gist using gist.new.
