Octopi is a Ruby interface to GitHub API v2 (http://develop.github.com).
To install it as a Gem, just run:
$ sudo gem install octopi
To include it in your modules or in irb use:
include Octopi

If you have your ~/.gitconfig file in place, and you have a [github] section (if you don't, take a look at this [GitHub Guides entry][http://github.com/guides/tell-git-your-user-name-and-email-address], you can use seamless authentication using this method:
authenticated do
repo = Repository.find(:name => "api-labrat", :user => "fcoury")
end
Sometimes, you may not want to get authentication data from ~/.gitconfig. You want to use GitHub API authenticated as a third party. For this use case, you have a couple of options too.
1. Providing login and token inline:
authenticated_with :login => "mylogin", :token => "mytoken" do
repo = Repository.find(:name => "api-labrat", :user => "fcoury")
issue = Issue.open :repo => repo, :params => {
:title => "Sample issue", :body => "This issue was opened using GitHub API and Octopi" }
puts issue.number
end
2. Providing login and password inline:
authenticated_with :login => "mylogin", :password => "password" do
repo = Repository.find(:name => "api-labrat", :user => "fcoury")
issue = Issue.open :repo => repo, :params => {
:title => "Sample issue", :body => "This issue was opened using GitHub API and Octopi" }
puts issue.number
end
3. Providing a YAML file with authentication information:
Use the following format:
#
# Octopi GitHub API configuration file
#
# GitHub user login and token
github:
user: github-username
token: github-token
# Trace level
# Possible values:
# false - no tracing, same as if the param is ommited
# true - will output each POST or GET operation to the stdout
# curl - same as true, but in addition will output the curl equivalent of each command (for debugging)
trace: curl
And change the way you connect to:
authenticated :config => "github.yml") do
(...)
end
This reflects the usage of the API to retrieve information on a read-only fashion, where the user doesn't have to be authenticated.
Getting user information
user = User.find("fcoury")
puts "#{user.name} is being followed by #{user.followers.join(", ")} and following #{user.following.join(", ")}"
The bang methods followers! and following! retrieves a full User object for each user login returned, so it has to be used carefully.
user.followers!.each do |u|
puts " - #{u.name} (#{u.login}) has #{u.public_repo_count} repo(s)"
end
Searching for user
users = User.find_all("silva")
puts "#{users.size} users found for 'silva':"
users.each do |u|
puts " - #{u.name}"
end
repo = user.repository("octopi") # same as: Repository.find("fcoury", "octopi")
puts "Repository: #{repo.name} - #{repo.description} (by #{repo.owner}) - #{repo.url}"
puts " Tags: #{repo.tags and repo.tags.map {|t| t.name}.join(", ")}"
Search:
repos = Repository.find_all("ruby", "git")
puts "#{repos.size} repository(ies) with 'ruby' and 'git':"
repos.each do |r|
puts " - #{r.name}"
end
Issues API integrated into the Repository object:
issue = repo.issues.first
puts "First open issue: #{issue.number} - #{issue.title} - Created at: #{issue.created_at}"
Single issue information:
issue = repo.issue(11)
Commits API information from a Repository object:
first_commit = Commit.find(:user => repo.user, :repo => repo.name, :sha => repo.commits.first.id)
puts "First commit: #{first_commit.id} - #{first_commit.message} - by #{first_commit.author['name']}"
Single commit information:
puts "Diff:"
first_commit.details.modified.each {|m| puts "#{m['filename']} DIFF: #{m['diff']}" }
