Examples from Unit Tests

This list is by no means exhaustive but only meant to illustrate some of the commands possible:

Promises vs Callbacks

The examples below return a Promise. If you prefer callbacks, you can pass a callback as the last argument to the last function call (ie .fetch(cb), .read(cb), .add(cb), .create({...}, cb)) instead.

Repos

repo = octo.repos(USER, REPO)

repo.fetch()
repo.readme.read()

repo.comments.fetch()
repo.comments(COMMENT_ID).fetch()

repo.commits.fetch()
repo.commits.fetch({"sha":"master"})
