astorm / php-github-api

a slight package to make KnpLabs/php-github-api installation a one step affair.

php-github-api

A composer metapackage that makes the great KnpLabs/php-github-api package slightly easier to work with.

How to Use

Just run

$ composer require pulsestorm/php-github-api

and you should be good to go. This package will install knplabs/github-api and the defacto-default php-http/guzzle6-adapter adapter. With those installed you can pull in your composer autoloader and start programming.

<?php
// makes composer packages avaiable to your program -- if you're
// using a PHP framework with composer support this probably
// already happens.
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$token = 'ab...3e'; # https://help.github.com/en/articles/creating-a-personal-access-token-for-the-command-line
$client = new \Github\Client();
$client->authenticate($token,null,\Github\Client::AUTH_HTTP_TOKEN);

// used the github API to download a file from the
// KnpLabs/php-github-api repository
$file = $client->api('repo')->contents()
        ->download('KnpLabs', 'php-github-api', 'composer.json');

echo "Downloaded","\n";
echo $file;

If you need more help the actual project repository's README.md has everything you need to get started.
