Creating initial wiki for new repositories

Question

I'm creating multiple private repositories via GitHub API that should include predefined wiki pages. Wiki pages are handled via a separate git repository.

Unfortunately creating a repository with the has_wiki flag turned on does not set up the wiki repository automatically. The Home document only seems to be created when I click on the Pages section of the wiki in the web front end. Before that there is no wiki clone URL which I need to push my custom pages.

How can I create the wiki programmatically?
