Does github provide the option to have a repository auto initialised so that you can just do git clone <uri> rather than the entire init, add file, commit, add remote, push process as shown in their instructions?
If not, is there a technical reason as to why?
Running git clone <uri> after having the repository created by github seems a lot easier.
Running
git clone <uri>should work fine. There are several options, including the folder to create the clone in. The default is to create a folder whose name matches the source repo.Check out the git-clone man page for all of the gory details.
