Notes

The main purpose of PyGithubApi is so I can write a function for my other projects to check back with GitHub and see if they are the most current version.

Right now it only has one function: get_last_commit(), which takes a URL from the GitHub API for the commits on a repository and returns the latest commit date.

Missing Functionality

Every other function that the GitHub API offers.

Add a Tutorial

It would be nice to add a tutorial for new users who are not used to it.
