Quick Start Guide

Authentication

from github_client_sdk.auth import AuthClient
import os

# Initialize the auth client
auth = AuthClient(
    client_id=os.getenv("CLIENT_ID"),
    client_secret=os.getenv("CLIENT_SECRET"),
    redirect_uri="http://localhost:8000/callback",
    scope=["repo", "user:email", "workflow"]
)

# Get authentication URL
auth_url = auth.get_auth_url()
print(f"Visit this URL to authorize: {auth_url}")

# Get access token
code = input("Enter the authorization code: ")
access_token = auth.get_access_token(code)

# Get user information
user_info = auth.get_user_info(access_token)
print(user_info)

Managing Workflows

from github_client_sdk.client import GitHubClient
from github_client_sdk.workflow import Workflow

# Initialize the client
client = GitHubClient(token="your_oauth_token")

# Create workflow instance
workflow = Workflow(client, "username", "repository_name")

# Create a new workflow
workflow_name = "new-workflow"
workflow_path = "path/to/workflow.yaml"
response = workflow.create_workflow(workflow_name, workflow_path)
print(f"Workflow creation response: {response}")

# List workflows
workflows = workflow.get_workflows()
print(workflows)

# Delete workflow
workflow.delete_workflow("workflow_id")

Managing Environment Variables

from github_client_sdk.variables import Variables

# Initialize variables client
variables = Variables(client, "username", "repository_name")

# Get all variables
all_variables = variables.get_variables()
print(all_variables)

# Create a new variable
variables.create_variable("TEST_VARIABLE", "TEST_VALUE")

# Update an existing variable
variables.update_variable("TEST_VARIABLE", "NEW_VALUE")

# Get a specific variable
variable = variables.get_variable("TEST_VARIABLE")
print(variable)

# Delete a variable
variables.delete_variable("TEST_VARIABLE")

Using the CLI

The SDK comes with a built-in CLI for easy interaction:

# Start the interactive shell
github-client-shell

# Available commands in the shell:
# 1. authenticate     : Authenticate with GitHub
# 2. get-user-info   : Fetch and display user info
# 3. set-env-variable: Set environment variables
# 4. get-env-variables: Get environment variables
# 5. logout          : Logout from GitHub
# 6. clear           : Clear the screen
# 7. exit            : Exit the shell

Environment Variables

The SDK requires the following environment variables to be set:

• CLIENT_ID: Your GitHub OAuth App client ID
• CLIENT_SECRET: Your GitHub OAuth App client secret
