Option A - Via GitHub Web Interface:
- Go to https://github.com/new
- Repository name:
chatseekornextsee - Description: "Knowledge graph query and GEO submission system for biomedical research"
- Public repository (recommended)
- DO NOT initialize with README, .gitignore, or license (you already have these)
- Click "Create repository"
Option B - Via GitHub CLI:
gh repo create chatseek --public --source=. --remote=originAfter creating the repository, GitHub will show you commands. Use these:
# Add GitHub as remote
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/chatseek.git
# Or with SSH (if configured):
git remote add origin git@github.com:yourusername/chatseek.git
# Push to GitHub
git push -u origin mainAfter creating GitHub repo, update pyproject.toml:
[project.urls]
Homepage = "https://github.com/yourusername/chatseek"
Repository = "https://github.com/yourusername/chatseek"
"Bug Tracker" = "https://github.com/yourusername/chatseek/issues"Then commit:
git add pyproject.toml
git commit -m "docs: Update repository URLs in pyproject.toml"
git pushRepository Settings:
- Description: "Knowledge graph query and GEO submission system for biomedical research"
- Topics:
neo4j,knowledge-graph,graphrag,bioinformatics,geo-submission,python,cli,biomedical-research - Website: (leave empty or add if you have one)
Optional Enhancements:
- GitHub Pages: Enable for documentation (uses
README.md) - Branch Protection: Protect
mainbranch - Issue Templates: Add templates for bug reports and feature requests
- GitHub Actions: Add CI/CD for automated testing
