Ever wanted to store a file on Github right from the browser? Here you are.
Create a Github instance.
var github = new Github({
username: "YOU_USER",
password: "YOUR_PASSWORD",
auth: "basic"
});Or if you prefer OAuth, it looks like this:
var github = new Github({
token: "OAUTH_TOKEN"
auth: "oauth"
});Expose API for a given repository.
var repo = github.getRepo(reponame);Retrieve all available branches (aka heads) of a repository.
repo.listBranches(function(err, branches) {
});Store contents at a certain path, where files that don't yet exist are created on the fly.
repo.write('master', 'path/to/file', 'YOUR_NEW_CONTENTS', 'YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE', function(err) {
});Not only can you can write files, you can of course read them.
repo.read('master', 'path/to/file', function(err, data) {
});Move a file from A to B.
repo.move('master', 'path/to/file', 'path/to/new_file', function(err) {
});Remove a file.
repo.remove('master', 'path/to/file', function(err) {
});Listing all files of a repository is easy too.
repo.list('master', 'path/to/file', function(err, data) {
});
