Create new repo on Bitbucket from Git Bash terminal?

Question

Is it possible to create a new repository in Bitbucket by using command line Git? I have tried the following: ``` git clone --bare https://username@bitbucket.org/username/new_project.git ``` I get this message: Cloning into bare repository 'new_project.git'... fatal: `https://username@bitbucket.org/username/new_project.git/info/refs` not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server? It would be nice to do this without going to the web app.

Accepted Answer

You can use the Bitbucket REST API and cURL. For example:

```
curl --user login:pass https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/ \
--data name=REPO_NAME
```

to create new repository named `REPO_NAME`.

See Use the Bitbucket REST APIs for more information.
