Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

As someone who prefers working on the command-line interface, I found it tiring to go to the Github site every time I needed to create or delete a repository, and then switch back to the CLI for git commands. This led me to create Caliex, a command-line tool that allows me to perform all these tasks from the comfort of my terminal.

Caliex makes it easy to list, create, and delete Github repositories without ever leaving the CLI. It utilizes the Github API to fetch repository information and perform CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations on them.

If you're someone who works on Github often and prefers working from the command-line, Caliex can save you a lot of time and effort. You can find the source code on Github and install it easily from NPM registry.

How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

Building Caliex was an exciting opportunity for me to learn about REST APIs and how to interact with Github's API. I developed my knowledge of Node.js and CLI tools and became proficient in creating interactive command-line interfaces with libraries such as Inquirer.js.

During the development of Caliex, I utilized GitHub Codespaces as my development environment instead of an offline terminal. This allowed me to build the entire application online, eliminating the need for local development environments. I learned how to set up my development environment with the necessary dependencies and configurations, as well as how to use the built-in VS Code editor to improve my workflow. Besides, managing multiple environments for different branches of the application's codebase became easy with Codespaces, and I learned new skills related to managing my development environment within the Codespaces.

I also utilized Github Actions to automatically publish new versions of Caliex to the NPM registry, whenever I release a new version on Github

Overall, GitHub Codespaces proved to be an efficient and effective way to build Caliex. Not only did it provide a convenient development environment, but it also helped me become proficient in developing code in the cloud. I intend to continue using GitHub Codespaces for future projects to take advantage of its features and benefits.
