Introduction

Commitspark is a set of tools to manage structured data with Git through a GraphQL API.

This repository holds code for a Commitspark Git adapter that provides access to Git repositories hosted on GitHub.

Usage

Instantiate the adapter with createAdapter() and then call setRepositoryOptions() with GitHubRepositoryOptions on the instance. These options are as follows:

Option name	Required	Default value	Description
repositoryOwner	True		GitHub repository owner, e.g. commitspark
repositoryName	True		GitHub repository name, e.g. git-adapter-github
accessToken	True		GitHub access token (see details below)
pathSchemaFile	False	commitspark/schema/schema.graphql	Path to schema file in repository
pathEntryFolder	False	commitspark/entries/	Path to folder for entries

Access Token

An accessToken may be any one of the following types of tokens:

Personal Access Tokens (classic)

A personal access token with repo scope is required.

Fine-grained Personal Access Tokens

For read-only access, a fine-grained personal access token with the following repository permissions is sufficient:

Permission	Access
Contents	Read-only
Metadata	Read-only

For write-access, permissions must be as follows:

Permission	Access
Contents	Read and write
Metadata	Read-only

In both cases, ensure the fine-grained permissions you give actually apply to the repository you want to work with.

OAuth Tokens

Access tokens for a user obtained from an OAuth app can be used in the same way (including permissions) as fine-grained personal access tokens.
