there meanwhile are three wrappers available:

1. https://balletie.github.io/GitHub/ (from Balletie, very complete)
2. https://github.com/astares/GitHub-API (this one)
3. https://github.com/guillep/github-api (one from Guille, who now bases on the one from Balletie)

This project is a GitHub API Wrapper for Pharo to easily access informations from GitHub right from your Pharo image.

You can load the GitHub-API Wrapper easily into your Pharo image by using the follwing load expression:

Metacello new 
	repository: 'github://astares/GitHub-API/repository';
	baseline: 'GitHubAPI';
	load.

You can access GitHub users in two ways, either using the class GitHubUser

GitHubUser named: 'astares'

or by asking the GitHub class:

GitHub userNamed: 'astares'

If you have a user you can easily access the Avatar as a regular Form instance in Pharo:

(GitHub userNamed: 'astares') avatar

returning the following graphic form/picture:

You can check if the user is an organization or regular user:

(GitHub userNamed: 'pharo-project') isOrganization

which in the particular case of our example returns true as the Pharo-project organization has an account on GitHub.

To access the collection of repositories for a given GitHub user you can use one of the two expressions:

(GitHubUser named: 'pharo-project') repositories

or

GitHub repositoriesForUser: 'pharo-project' 

which is a little bit shorter.
