GitHub Repository Initialization Script
This Bash script is designed to automate the process of creating and initializing a Git repository, optionally pushing it to GitHub, and selecting a license.

Getting Started
Before using this script, make sure you have the following:

GitHub account
GitHub username
GitHub personal access token with repo scope

Instructions (mkgit.bash)

Clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/bash-github-repo-creator.git

Navigate to the cloned directory:
```
cd bash-github-repo-creator
```
Make the script executable:
```
chmod +x mkgit.bash
```
Execute the script
```
./mkgit.bash [-d] [-i] [-l] [-h]
```

Flags

-d: Delete the configuration file and exit.
-i: Initialize a Git repository in the current directory.
-l: Prompt for license selection.
-h: Display the help message.

Runing script without any flags makes new repo without licence at $HOME/Documents/Projects

The first time you use the script, it will prompt you to enter your GitHub credentials. These credentials will be saved in a configuration file for further use.
