Enhanced Python GitHub client.
Project description
Python GitHub Plus
An enhanced Python client for GitHub that extends the functionality of the official pygithub package, providing better error handling, merge request management, branch operations, and more.
Features
- ✅ Simplified connection to GitHub instances
- ✅ Robust error handling with comprehensive logging
- ✅ Service-based architecture for organized functionality
- ✅ Project management (members, info, etc.)
- ✅ Branch operations (create, delete, protect, list, etc.)
- ✅ Pull Request management (create, merge, approve, assign, comment, etc.)
- ✅ Workflow operations (trigger, monitor, wait for completion, etc.)
- ✅ Tag management (create, delete, list, etc.)
- ✅ File operations (read, create, update, delete, etc.)
Installation
pip install python-github-plus
Configuration
The package uses environment variables for authentication and configuration:
# Required environment variables
GitHub_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_github_access_token
GitHub_URL=https://github.com # Your GitHub instance URL (default: github.com)
Examples
Basic Setup and Connection
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
# Initialize GitLab client with service-based architecture
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Access different services
project_service = github_client.project
branch_service = github_client.branch
pr_service = github_client.pull_request
workflows_service = github_client.workflows
tag_service = github_client.tag
file_service = github_client.file
Branch Management
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Create a new branch
branch = github_client.branch.create(
branch_name="feature/new-feature",
from_branch="main"
)
print(f"Created branch: {branch.ref}")
# List branches
branches = github_client.branch.list()
for branch in branches:
print(f"Branch: {branch.name}")
# Protect a branch
github_client.branch.protect("main")
# Delete a branch
github_client.branch.delete("feature/old-feature")
Pull Request Management
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Create a pull request
pr = github_client.pull_request.create(
title="Add new feature",
from_branch="feature/new-feature",
target="main"
)
print(f"Created PR: !{pr.number}")
# Assign PR to a user
github_client.pull_request.assign(pr.number, "username")
# Add a comment
github_client.pull_request.add_comment(pr.number, "Great work!")
# Approve the PR
github_client.pull_request.approve(pr.number)
# Merge the PR
github_client.pull_request.merge(pr.number)
Workflow Operations
import time
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Trigger a workflows
workflows = github_client.workflow.trigger(
workflow_name="CI",
branch_name="main",
)
print(f"Workflow triggered: {workflows.id}")
time.sleep(5) # wait a bit for the workflow to register
run_id = github_client.workflow.last_run_by_id(workflow_id=workflows.id)
# Check workflow run status
status = github_client.workflow.status(run_id=run_id.id)
print(f"Workflow run status: {status}")
# Wait for workflows completion
final_status = github_client.workflow.wait_until_finished(
run_id=run_id.id,
check_interval=30,
timeout=3600
)
print(f"Workflow run completed with status: {final_status}")
File Operations
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Read file content
file_content = github_client.file.fetch_content(
file_path="README.md",
ref="main"
)
print(f"File content: {file_content[:100]}...")
Tag Management
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Create a tag
tag = github_client.tag.create(
tag_name="v1.0.0",
from_branch="main",
message="Release version 1.0.0"
)
print(f"Created tag: {tag.name}")
# List tags
tags = github_client.tag.list()
for tag in tags:
print(f"Tag: {tag.name}")
# Delete a tag
github_client.tag.delete("v0.9.0")
Project Management
from python_github_plus import GitHubClient
github_client = GitHubClient(
access_token="your_access_token", # Note: parameter name changed
repo_full_name="your-repo-owner/your-repo-name",
)
# Get project information
project_info = github_client.project.get_info()
print(f"Project: {project_info.name}")
print(f"Description: {project_info.description}")
# List project members
members = github_client.project.list_members()
for member in members:
print(f"Member: {member.username}")
# Add a member
github_client.project.add_member("newuser", 30) # 30 = Developer access level
# Remove a member
github_client.project.remove_member("olduser")
