Open Source Git Software

A simple PHP GitHub API client, Object Oriented, tested and documented. Uses GitHub API v3 & supports GitHub API v4. The object API (v3) is very similar to the RESTful API. Object Oriented wrapper for GitHub API, written with PHP. Light and fast thanks to lazy loading of API classes. Extensively tested and documented. We are decoupled from any HTTP messaging client with help by HTTPlug. To integrate this library in laravel Graham Campbell created graham-campbell/github. See the installation instructions to get started in laravel.

API wrappers should reflect the idioms of the language in which they were written. Octokit.rb wraps the GitHub API in a flat API client that follows Ruby conventions and requires little knowledge of REST. Most methods have positional arguments for required input and an options hash for optional parameters, headers, or other options. While most methods return a Resource object or a Boolean, sometimes you may need access to the raw HTTP response headers. Access tokens can be revoked, removing access for only that token without having to change your password everywhere. Access tokens have access scopes that allow for more granular access to API resources. For instance, you can grant a third party access to your gists but not your private repositories. Two-Factor Authentication brings added security to the account by requiring more information to login.
