Java Github API Demo

Try use Java version of github-api to interact with github.

Options:

• [kohsuke/github-api]http://github-api.kohsuke.org/: Bad documentation, hard to start
• jcabi-github: Bad api define and documentation, hard to use
• org.eclipse.egit.github.core: Good design and easy to use, recommend!

Use org.eclipse.egit.github.core to interact with github.

You need to create an access token in your github account, and create a github-token.txt in the root of your project, with the content of the token.

Run Java files under the demo package in your IDE.

Attention

1. Make sure you never include your github-token.txt file in git or share to others
2. Some of the github-api urls are blocked or unstable in some countries. If you can't get response in reasonable time, try run the code through proxies.
