JGit has no built-in operations for working with the Github API.

Maybe the egit-github project is helpful here; org.eclipse.egit.github.core.service.RepositoryService.createRepository().

Otherwise use any other client-side library for working with the Github API to invoke that API endpoint.

JGit does not provide a way to create a repository on Github since git does not define a way to create a Git repository on a remote git server.
Github provides a REST API for that but this API is Github's API and not Git's API.
