github-api

Is there any way to enable Github pages through the api? Not requesting a page build, I mean the initial enabling of the feature and pointing to a branch. You just have to push content to the remote git repository. You have to differentiate between a User-Page (username.github.io) and a Project-Page (username.github.io/projectname) User-Page: git clone https://github.com/username/username.github.io cd username.github.io echo "Hello World" > index.html git add --all git commit -m "Initial commit" git push -u origin master Project-Page: git clone https://github.com/user/repository.git cd

Is it possible to post binary files (such as images) to GitHub gists via the HTTP api? In particular, the Gist api docs describe how to post files with string contents. There are two problems here for uploading images. One is that the api has something like a 64kb limit on POST requests (although this is not documented), which is pretty small for image files. Second, it's not obvious what encoding should be used on the wire for image files. It's easy to do this by cloning the git repository associated with the Gist, adding the file, and pushing to the repository, but that requires git and I'd

I am currently trying to read through the (GitHub API)[http://developer.github.com/v3/repos/contents/] to figure out how I can programmatically retrieve all versions of a specific file in a single repository. I see that one can get the list of commits, and the current version of a single file easily. But, is there a way to list all the commits relevant for a specific file and then iterate through all the versions of that file? To get the list of commits relevant for a specific file, use this API endpoint and specify the path parameter: GET https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/commits?path

I need the list of reviewers for a PR, and the Review Requests API present in Github only provides me the requested reviewers which becomes empty once the reviewers have accepted their invitations. I also tried the Reviews API to get all reviews and then get unique users, but that seems to be only for users who enter one and not for those who have accepted the request review invitation and never posted a review. Just went through this problem with the following solution. According to GitHub's documentation : GET /repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/:pull_number/requested_reviewers Pull request authors

I'm trying to check if branch can be merged to another using the github API. There is a property mergeable in GET /repos/:owner/:repo/pulls/:number , but I don't actually want to create a pull request before I know that branches can be merged w/o conflicts. On the github website, when creating a pull request, there is a call to this address which doesn't seem to be an API method (it returns HTML saying whether branches can be merged or not). But still I could use this call, the problem is I have no clue what '1373893022922' refers to. I'd suggest it's somehow connected to the base branch

I am creating issues with https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/#create-an-issue . Is it possible to attach images to message body? I tried 'Accept', 'application/vnd.github.v3.html+json' and emmbeded the image as img elment base64 encoded. The image will not show, but the ticket editor shows the img element. There is no simple solution to this. The official docs say nothing about that which means it's not supported. The GitHub.com authentication works based on cookies while the API authentication uses tokens/passwords. That means if you really want to hack the things to upload your image
