Find date a repo was created on GitHub

What

When flexing on colleagues, or needing to work out when a repo was created, it's useful to know when a repo was created (duh)

How

GitHub has a public API you can plug repo names in to, and it will give you the created Date

The URl is

https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo-name

Locate the created_at field

Shell

curl https://api.github.com/repos/owner/repo-name | jq '.created_at'
