NAME

Net::GitHub - Perl Interface for github.com

SYNOPSIS

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',
);
# 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"
} );

FAQ

  • create access_token for Non-Web Application

    my $gh = Net::GitHub::V3->new( login => 'fayland', pass => 'secret' );
    my $oauth = $gh->oauth;
    my $o = $oauth->create_authorization( {
    scopes => ['user', 'public_repo', 'repo', 'gist'], # just ['public_repo']
    note => 'test purpose',
    } );
    print $o->{token};

    after create the token, you can use it without your password publicly written

    my $github = Net::GitHub->new(
    access_token => $token, # from above
    );
