What’s on Github?

This is a library that implements github’s API in python.

Part of the reason I wrote this was to have a simple way to keep local clones of my projects. Included is githubsync.py which does that for any given user (within the limitations of the github API, which currently limits you to public projects).

Example

This code (which happens to be main in git.py)

import sys
u = GitHub().user(sys.argv[1])
print "User:  %s (%s)" % (u.login, u.name)
for repo in [u.repos[k] for k in sorted(u.repos.keys())]:
    print "- %s" % repo.name
    print "  %s" % repo.url
    print "  %s" % "git://github.com/%s/%s.git" % (u.login, repo.name)

Yields this result:
