# Here you can put the basic code example if there is any in the original repo.
# For now, since no specific code is provided, this is a placeholder.
# Assume we have a function to create a new repository using the GitHub API
import requests

# Replace with your actual GitHub token
token = 'YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN'
headers = {
