Reposer 🎯

Status: Production-ready Ruby gem for AI-powered repository creation - intelligent automation of GitHub project setup and documentation generation.

AI-powered GitHub repository creation and management tool

Reposer is an intelligent CLI tool that uses AI to create GitHub repositories with smart descriptions, relevant topics, comprehensive READMEs, and proper project structure. No more staring at blank repository forms!

• 🤖 AI-Generated Content: Multiple AI providers (Gemini, Ollama) or template-based fallback
• 🎯 Smart Context Awareness: Understands project purpose from name, language, and framework
• 🔧 Interactive CLI: Guided prompts for missing information with beautiful UI
• 📝 Professional READMEs: Creates comprehensive, well-structured documentation with emojis
• 🏷️ 20 Intelligent Topics: Generates up to 20 relevant tags and topics automatically
• 😊 Emoji Support: Automatic emoji inclusion in descriptions and READMEs for visual appeal
• 📄 License Selection: Interactive license picker (MIT, Apache, GPL, BSD, MPL, Unlicense)
• 🗂️ Language-Specific Project Files: Auto-generates boilerplate files (go.mod, package.json, requirements.txt, etc.)
• 👁️ Preview Mode: See generated content before creating repository
• 🔐 Secure Configuration: Encrypted storage of API keys and tokens
• ⚡ Multi-Language Support: Built-in support for 15+ programming languages
• 🎨 Framework Intelligence: Recognizes and suggests popular frameworks
• 🤖 Flexible AI Integration: Choose between Gemini, Ollama, or template-based generation
• 🧪 90%+ Test Coverage: Production-ready with comprehensive testing

Repose supports multiple AI providers for intelligent content generation:

export GEMINI_API_KEY='your-api-key'
repose create my-project  # Auto-detects Gemini

# Install and start Ollama
brew install ollama
ollama serve
ollama pull mistral

# Configure (optional)
export OLLAMA_ENDPOINT='http://localhost:11434'
export OLLAMA_MODEL='mistral'

repose create my-project  # Auto-detects Ollama

Works out of the box with intelligent templates - no AI configuration needed!

Repose automatically selects the best available provider:

1. Gemini (if GEMINI_API_KEY is set)
2. Ollama (if service is running)
3. Template-based (always available as fallback)

gem install repo-composer

Configure your credentials (one-time setup):

repo-composer configure

You'll need:

• GitHub Personal Access Token (with repo permissions) - Required
• Gemini API Key (optional, for AI-powered generation)
• Ollama (optional, for local AI - brew install ollama && ollama serve)
