GIT Javacript API

[AbdealiLoKo]

We need to do be able to get info from git and tell git to do some stuff for us.

[AbdealiLoKo]

how to do this ?

Github has an API. https://developer.github.com/v3/

• An API is like, you run a command to tell gitHub what to do. For example ... if you type http://graph.facebook.com/Abdeali.J.Kothari and replace "Abdeali.J.Kothari" with some other user's name, facebook gives you some information. note that there's no frontend - just raw information
• Github has the same... example : https://api.github.com/user

How do we use the API ?

• There are some libraries to use the API.
• https://github.com/michael/github shows a list of all libraries in various languages.
• We will use javascript, as you guys are familiar with it. One of the gitHub Javascript libraries is : https://github.com/michael/github

Let's begin by using this, and getting all commits of your github account.

So, basically app goes like this :

• U have a button on ur page (eg : thewebopsclub.org)
• On clicking the button, the user goes to github. (i.e. it changes from thewebopsclub.org to github.com)
• Github will tell the user "Hey, this app wants permission to...." (still at github.com)
• User clicks ok or cancel (sttiillll at github.com)
• Then github has to tell the origin URL (thewebopsclub.org) that this user accepted and give some secret password and other information to thewebopsclub.org to do anything with this account. This information is sent to the callback url via GET or POST information.

^ If that was too complicated or u wanna read more : (from a quick google search)

• https://developer.github.com/guides/basics-of-authentication/
• http://fajitanachos.com/Authenticating-with-the-GitHub-API/

Both are simple and explain what I've said in more detail ... do go through them !

Where did you get that coffee example from ? It's saying there is no template tag called highlight ... On May 25, 2014 12:55 AM, "keerthana shanmugam" notifications@github.com wrote:
