Current plan is to start with an external script to deal with creating the GitLab repo, then to see if it can be integrated into Pagure Exporter. Target https://github.com/fedora-infra/pagure-exporter/tree/fogo branch for any exporter changes

OK, so I've written https://gitlab.com/gwmngilfen/create_project as a starting point:

• Trivial wrapper that uses a config file for base URL, namespace, and API key so they can be re-used
• Project name is a cmdline arg so we can loop over it easily
• It uses python-gitlab so it could be integrated into pagure-exporter if needed

Tested locally on my GitLab namespace:

base_url: https://gitlab.com
namespace: gwmngilfen
gl_key: REDACTED
debug: false

(.venv) [greg@topaz]$ ./create_project.py create_project
Target project: gwmngilfen/create_project
Success: Project gwmngilfen/create_project already exists.

(.venv) [greg@topaz]$ ./create_project.py create_project2
Target project: gwmngilfen/create_project2
Project gwmngilfen/create_project2 does not exist. Creating...
Success: Project created: https://gitlab.com/gwmngilfen/create_project2

@arrfab @t0xic0der I think this will get us started? We can extend for nested namespaces or integrate into pagure-export if needed, ofc
