I got tired of clicking through the github menus, so after some toying around with the octopi github client (which does not work as expected…), I wrote this small script using pure rest-client.

Creates a new travis hook based on the travis info in your .gitconfig
and also triggers the initial test-run.

add to ~/.gitconfig

[travis]
  user = xxx
  token = yyy

download & run the Script
wget https://raw.github.com/grosser/dotfiles/master/bin/github-add-travis

./github-add-travis github-password project-name
