basic c# github api

Git.hub

A simple API in terms of querying github with C#, based on RestSharp.

Usage

Create a client instance

using Git.hub;
Client client = new Client();

Login

The recommended way to login is to use OAuth tokens provided by Github, as detailed on the API docs.

client.setOAuth2Token("0fd...");

You could, for example, display a webbrowser control to navigate to the site and listen to the related events for when a redirect to your given site happens, use the ?code=<code> with the following line:

OAuth2Helper.requestToken(client_id, client_secret, <code>

Albeit not recommended, logging in with Username and Password is possible:

client.setCredentials("mabako", "super duper password");

To retrieve the currently logged in user, use the following:

User user = client.getUser();

Repositories

To fetch repositories, the following lines of code should suffice your needs:

IList<Repository> repos = client.getRepositories("mabako");
IList<Repository> orgRepos = client.getOrganizationRepositories("github");

Repository repo = client.getRepository("mabako", "Git.hub");

/* Requires login */
IList<Repository> ownRepos = client.getRepositories();

Please take note that the latter includes all repositories you have access to, if you certainly want your own repos only filter for Repository.Owner.Login.

Simple Repository Actions

Fork the repo:

Repository forked = repo.CreateFork();

List branches:

IList<Branch> branches = repo.GetBranches();

Pull Requests

You can fetch all of the repo's pull requests or just one, use as fit.

IList<PullRequest> pullrequests = repo.GetPullRequests();
PullRequest pullrequest = repo.GetPullRequest(1);

Alternatively, a new pull request may be created with:

var pullrequest = repo.CreatePullRequest("mabako:new-feature", "master", "Subject", "Details...");

Take note that 'repo' is the repo in which the pull request is created, your own username is usually in the first parameter, along with your branch.

A few basic actions on pull requests are defined:

pullrequest.GetCommits();
pullrequest.Open();
pullrequest.Close();

/* This is the same */
var issue = pullrequest.ToIssue();
issue.GetComments();
pullrequest.GetIssueComments()

To reply to a pull request, fetch the issue first with ToIssue() and use

issue.CreateComment("My comment");
