@sfdye readd the login example please ^^_

I just started with PyGithub, and found some examples, so obviously some work has been done—thanks, people!

But I don't see any examples for how to listen for events, e.g. pushevent and pullrequestevent. Could examples for those be added?

Thanks, @LeviMatus!

I am new to PyGithub SDK and trying to do below operations. However, having difficulty going through documents to know the usage.

1. get a file content from a specific branch

command line equivalent:

git checkout <<branch>> and then get file content

Issue:

I am able to get file content from master branch using this sdk but not from specific branch

1. repo tags and its details

command line equivalent:

git tag -v <<tag_id>>

1. Update that file

I see here the docs https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/Repository.html#update-a-file-in-the-repository

1. Update user details for commit

git config user.email "[email protected]"
git config user.name "cicd"
git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit

1. Git pull that branch before commit as other automation might have committed some other file.
2. git commit in the branch

git pull --no-edit
git add $FILE_NAME
git commit -m "updating $FILE_NAME"
git pull --no-edit && git push origin

I am also trying to find the method/api of this sdk to do that, but if someone have it ready, please help with the same.

Hello, I'm a relatively new developer and this is helping a lot. Is any one planning to do examples for github app? Thanks!

hi! I'm trying to get the content of an specific branch too. Did you get it? Thanks!

@estagumor If you still need this answer the key is the ref parameter in the get_contents function. The default is "master". Here's an example getting the contents of the "0.6.X" branch of the scikit-learn repo.

from github import Github

g = Github("USERNAME", "PASSWORD")
repo = g.get_repo("scikit-learn/scikit-learn")
repo.get_contents("", ref = "0.6.X")

@sfdye I just started working with PyGithub and it works great. However even if i'am familiar with the git api, it would be great if you can provide a working example of how to set create / set branch protection rules.

I tried for example:
g.get_repo('SECRET/SECRET').get_branch('master').add_required_signatures()

@qbits-rwx I think the method you need is:
https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/github_objects/Branch.html#github.Branch.Branch.edit_protection

https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/branches/#update-branch-protection

Yes this did the trick. Unfortunately, require signed commits, is not implemented. Would be nice to have, as it is a policy we need to set on every branch.

Feel free to send a FR or PR

Hey, I was going through Pull Requests examples, is there any way to get a pull request by its HTML? Or is there any function available to convert HTML URL to Github API query?

Thanks a lot for these examples! What I'm missing is an example for exception handling. For instance, it wasn't immediately clear to me how to catch a github.GithubException.UnknownObjectException.
