Getting Started

A Node.js script to access and configure the Github API, in just 6 lines:

var rem = require('rem');
rem.connect('github.com').prompt(function (err, user) {
  user('user').get(function (err, profile) {
    console.log('Hello %s!', profile.name);
  });
});

rem.connect('github.com') creates a Github API Client. prompt asks you for API configuration and prompts you to log in. user is an authenticated API that can access endpoints like 'user', returning a JSON blob like profile.name.
