gh_util

A minimal Python library for interacting with GitHub's API, using httpx and Pydantic.

NOTE

This library is under active development and will likely change.

Installation

pip install gh_util

Either set GH_UTIL_TOKEN or GITHUB_TOKEN as an env var or in a .env file to enable authenticated requests and increase your rate limit.

Usage

Get the current user's GitHub profile

from devtools import debug
from gh_util.client import GHClient
from gh_util.types import GitHubUser

async def get_current_user() -> GitHubUser:
    async with GHClient() as client:
        response = await client.get("/user")
        return GitHubUser.model_validate(response.json())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    import asyncio
    debug(asyncio.run(get_current_user()))

Output

Read a GitHub issue and its comments

from gh_util.functions import fetch_repo_issue
from gh_util.print import print_repo_issue


async def main():

    print_repo_issue(issue)


if __name__ == "__main__":
