Here’s a sample automation script written in Python that integrates with the GitHub API to automatically create a new repository:

```python
import requests
import json

# Define the API endpoint and the headers
api_url = 'https://api.github.com/user/repos'
headers = {
    'Authorization': 'token YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Accept': 'application/vnd.github.v3+json'
}

# Define the new repository details
repo_data = {
    'name': 'new-repo',
    'description': 'This is a new repository created via automation',
    'private': False
}

# Function to create a new repository
def create_repo(data):
    response = requests.post(api_url, headers=headers, json=data)
    if response.status_code == 201:
        print('Repository created successfully!')
    else:
        print(f'Error creating repository: {response.status_code} - {response.json()}')

# Call the function to create the repository
create_repo(repo_data)
```
This script uses the GitHub API to create a new public repository named 'new-repo'. It includes error handling to inform the user if the repository creation fails, providing both the status code and error message.
