How to automatically create a PEP from GEO or SRA

geofetch is a command-line utility that converts GEO or SRA accessions into PEP projects. You provide an accession (or a spreadsheet with a list of accessions), and geofetch with produce the PEP (both project config and sample annotation). geofetch can also download the data from SRA, so your project will be ready for direct input into any PEP-compatible tool.
