Project description

github_api

Python Script for interacting with Github API.

Example

python3 -m py-github-helper \
        -t $GH_TOKEN -o org-not-included -r sample-repo -l 1 -c add_comment \
        -e '{"message": "This message was successfully posted via gitub_api."}'

Quick start

  1. Create a new Github repo.
  2. Create a local folder and push it to the new repository:
mkdir sample-repo
cd sample-repo
echo "# dummy" >> README.md
git init
git add README.md
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/$(git config user.name)/sample-repo.git
git push -u origin main 
  1. Install this PyPi package:
pip install py-github-helper
  1. Create a new branch (and push it to Github):
git checkout -b new_branch
echo "some sample text" > test.txt
git add test.txt
git commit -m "commit for demo purposes"
git push --set-upstream origin new_branch
  1. Open a Pull request:
    Open PR
  2. Create a PAT (and save it somewhere):
    Generate PAT
  3. Test out py-github-helper:
python3 -m py-github-helper \
        -t $MY_PAT -o $(git config user.name) -r sample-repo -l 1 -c add_comment \
        -e '{"message": "This message was successfully posted via gitub_api."}'
