PyGitHub

PyGitHub is a Python (2 and 3) library to access the GitHub API v3 and Github Enterprise API v3. This library enables you to manage GitHub resources such as repositories, user profiles, and organizations in your Python applications.

Install

$ pip install pygithub

Simple Demo

from github import Github

# First create a Github instance:

# using username and password
g = Github("user", "password")

# or using an access token
g = Github("access_token")

# Github Enterprise with custom hostname
g = Github(base_url="https://{hostname}/api/v3", login_or_token="access_token")

# Then play with your Github objects:
for repo in g.get_user().get_repos():
    print(repo.name)
