Noob question: Up until now I've always started with creating a repository on github and cloning it to my pc. This time I've already started a project with vs code and am not sure how to get it to github. Do I just use 'Import a Repository' on github?

If you also install Hub https://github.com/github/hub it gives you a git create command, it also has a set of really useful additional CLI utilities.

This is my favorite feature of this tool. Because every time I commit something and want to create PR/MR, I have to do a bunch of repetitive clicks here and there. On top of that, sometimes I have to work with GitHub, sometimes GitLab. So even if I wanna use the GitHub CLI tool hub or GitLab CLI tool glab, I am ending up using two different tools. So it's nice when I can open PR/MR just by a shortcut within a second or two regardless of what SCM I am on.
I have 20 repositories, is there any way I can create a report showing how many open issues in each?

On that note, this IS really new one. I have been using hub for almost 4 years for the use case you defined mostly creating PRs. But I find myself going to UI for comparing diff and reviewing PRs.
