how to add a remote repo using gh cli?

Question

I'm using the github cli (GH), and I have an already created repo, and a local git repo, is there a way to add a remote repo for that git repo using the gh cli?

It appears that the CLI doesn't have a command to create it directly, but it's possible to do it with the repo view command:

git remote add origin $(gh repo view $repo --json sshUrl --jq .sshUrl)

you can try this steps

curl -u 'nyeates' https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{"name":"projectname","description":"This project is a test"}' 
git remote add origin git@github.com:nyeates/projectname.git  
git push origin master
