NAME

Net::GitHub - Perl Interface for github.com

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::GitHub;
    my $github = Net::GitHub->new(  # Net::GitHub::V3
        login => 'fayland', pass => 'secret'
    );
    # If you use two factor authentication you can pass in the OTP. Do
    # note that OTPs expire quickly and you will need to generate an oauth
    # token to do anything non-trivial.
    my $github = Net::GitHub->new(
        login =>   'fayland',
        pass =>    'secret',
        otp =>     '123456',
    );
    # Pass api_url for GitHub Enterprise installations. Do not include a
    # trailing slash
    my $github = Net::GitHub->new(  # Net::GitHub::V3
        login =>   'fayland',
        pass =>    'secret',
        api_url => 'https://gits.aresweet.com/api/v3'
    );
    # suggested
    # use OAuth to create token with user/pass
    my $github = Net::GitHub->new(  # Net::GitHub::V3
        access_token => $token
    );
    # L<Net::GitHub::V3::Users>
    my $user = $github->user->show('nothingmuch');
    $github->user->update( bio => 'Just Another Perl Programmer' );
    # L<Net::GitHub::V3::Repos>
    my @repos = $github->repos->list;
    my $rp = $github->repos->create( {
        "name" => "Hello-World",
        "description" => "This is your first repo",
        "homepage" => "https://github.com"
    } );
