ching

A command set help yto take care of your GitHub/NPM accounts

It is really tedious to initialise an NPM package step by step. You have to:

1. Create a repository on GitHub.com;
2. Create a local copy by cloning (or git remote add ...);
3. Initialise as an NPM package via npm init;
4. Input "git repository" info by hand;
5. Input same "author" info again and again (unless you are used to change identities when developping different packages);
6. Scarffold README.md, CHANGELOG.md to make your package seem formal;
7. Scarffold unit test framework;
8. ...

Now, ching will help you to complete all previous tasks IN A FEW SECONDS!
