PyGithub example usage #874

sfdye · 2018-08-21T08:24:38Z

PyGithub is a great library, however it may not be intuitive to use at the beginning. Not everyone is a Github API expert, so I am trying to provide some working examples (recipes) that will hopefully help you get started.

The skeleton has been setup here and the example docs is already live on readthedocs as usual:

https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html

Note that the list will expand and any PR to add more examples is extremely welcome 😄

If you want to see any examples not covered here, just leave a comment.

Abdur-rahmaanJ · 2018-08-21T09:40:31Z

@sfdye readd the login example please ^^_

use repr to display objects

This PR add the follow code examples * Issue examples (get list, get specific issue, create issue) * Milestone examples (get list, get specific milestone, create milestone) Ref.: #874

## What does this change do? Adds a small example of how to get at the date a commit took place. ### Changes #### doc/examples/Commit.rst Adds a block of code that demonstrates how to get at a commit's date. ## Motivation This example is in the spirit of #874. When I began using PyGithub it was not readily apparent to me where the commit date was being abstracted to. Being unfamiliar with Git's API, it took some convincing for me to be satisfied that the `Commit.commit.author/committer.date` path would get me the commit date. I would hope that this would save somebody a little bit of time in the future. ## How has this been tested? I've built the docs locally and made sure the HTML is generated as expected. ## Screenshots ![2018-10-11 3](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/16039329/46782728-add4d980-ccfd-11e8-88dd-1e48be629eb5.png)

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?

mscheper · 2018-10-15T18:54:18Z

Thanks, @LeviMatus!

## What does this change do? Adds a small demo implementation of how one might use webhooks to listen for new events in a given repository. ### Additions #### doc/examples/Webhook.rst Adds a new `.rst` file, `Webhook.rst`, which can be used for demonstrating the usage of Webhooks in PyGithub. The example that I've added shows how to continually listen for events using Pyramid in conjunction with PyGithub. ## Motivation This example is in the spirit of #874.

In the spirit of PyGithub#874, add some examples for working with Branch objects. It doesn't add everything, but it's a start.

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

estagumor · 2019-12-04T10:17:22Z

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

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

repo tags and its details

command line equivalent:

git tag -v <<tag_id>>

Update that file

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

Update user details for commit
git config user.email "[email protected]"
git config user.name "cicd"
git commit --amend --reset-author --no-edit
Git pull that branch before commit as other automation might have committed some other file.

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.

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

gfleetwood · 2020-05-03T06:58:56Z

@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")

qbits-rwx · 2020-06-18T12:21:12Z

@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()

sfdye · 2020-06-18T12:24:43Z

@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

qbits-rwx · 2020-06-18T14:15:11Z

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.

sfdye · 2020-06-19T00:11:14Z

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?

NicoWeio · 2021-03-11T14:22:23Z

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.

@qbits-rwx Following should help with "require signed commit" setting on a branch: https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/github_objects/Branch.html#github.Branch.Branch.add_required_signatures
