Using the GitHub Package

The GitHub package is designed to be a straightforward interface for working with GitHub. It is based on version 3 of the GitHub API. You can find documentation on the API at http://developer.github.com/v3/.

GitHub is built upon the Http package which provides an easy way to consume URLs and web services in a transport independent way. Joomla\Http currently supports streams, sockets and cURL. It is possible to create a custom context and inject it into the GitHub class if one so desires.

Instantiating GitHub

Instantiating GitHub is easy:

use Joomla\Github\Github;

$github = new Github;

This creates a basic GitHub object that can be used to access publicly available resources on github.com.

Sometimes it is necessary to specify additional options. This can be done by injecting in a Registry object with your preferred options. Support is available for optionally providing a custom GitHub account username and password, as well as a custom URL for the GitHub server (as would be the case for using a local instance of GitHub Enterprise).

use Joomla\Github\Github;
use Joomla\Registry\Registry;

$options = new Registry;
$options->set('api.username', 'github_username');
$options->set('api.password', 'github_password');
$options->set('api.url', 'http://github.enterprise.example.com');

$github = new Github($options);

A gh.token option is also available.

Here is an example demonstrating more of the GitHub package:

use Joomla\Github\Github;
use Joomla\Registry\Registry;

$options = new Registry;
$options->set('api.username', 'github_username');
$options->set('api.password', 'github_password');
$options->set('api.url', 'http://myhostedgithub.example.com');

$github = new Github($options);

// get a list of all the user's issues
$issues = $github->issues->getList();

$issueSummary = array();

foreach ($issues as $issue)
{
    $issueSummary[] = '+ ' . $issue->title;
}

$summary = implode("\n", $issueSummary);

$github->gists->create(array('issue_summary.txt' => $summary));

Accessing the GitHub APIs

The GitHub object using magic methods to access sub-packages of the GitHub server's API that can be accessed using the -> object operator.

Where a result is returned by a PHP method, the result is the PHP equivalent of the JSON response that can be found in the GitHub API documentation.
