Github

1. Overview

GitHub is a cloud-based code hosting platform designed for developers to store, manage, track, and collaborate on software projects. It uses Git as its core version control system and provides powerful collaboration features such as issue tracking, code review, continuous integration, and more.

Through GoInsight's Github node, you can seamlessly integrate code repository management and automation operations into your workflows. This enables you to build powerful automation processes around code, issues, releases, and workflows, including:

• Repository Management: Get detailed repository information, file lists, license information, and search public repositories based on complex conditions.
• File Operations: Create, read, update, and delete files in specified repositories.
• Issue Management: Automatically create, edit, get, and lock issues in repositories, and add comments.
• Release Management: Manage the full lifecycle of repository releases, including creation, retrieval, update, and deletion.
• Code Review: Create, get, and update review comments for specified pull requests.
• Workflow Automation: Dispatch, enable, disable, get, and monitor GitHub Actions workflows.
• Collaboration Management: Invite users to become collaborators on repositories.

2. Prerequisites

Before using this node, you need to meet the following conditions:

• Have a valid Github account.
• Create a Personal Access Token (PAT) and grant it the required operation permissions (for example, repo permission for reading and writing private repositories, workflow permission for managing GitHub Actions).

3. Credentials

For a detailed guide on how to obtain and configure credentials, please refer to our official documentation: Credential Configuration Guide.

5. Example Usage

This section will guide you through creating a simple workflow to automatically create a new Issue in your GitHub repository.

Workflow Overview

A basic workflow contains three nodes: Start -> Create an Issue -> Answer. When the workflow is triggered, it will create a new Issue in your specified repository.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Add Tool Node:
   • In the workflow canvas, click the "+" button to add a new node.
   • Select the "Tools" tab in the panel that appears.
   • Find and select Github from the tools list.
   • In the list of operations supported by Github, click to select Create an Issue, which will add the corresponding node to the canvas.
2. Configure Node:
   • Click the newly added Create an Issue node, and the configuration panel for this node will expand on the right.
   • Credential Configuration: At the top of the panel, find the credentials field. Click the dropdown menu and select your configured Github credentials.
   • Parameter Entry: Fill in the input parameters for this operation in detail.
   • Owner: Fill in the name of the user or organization that owns the target repository. For example, go-insight.
   • Repo: Fill in the name of the target repository. For example, go-insight-public.
   • Title: Enter a title for the Issue you want to create. For example, Fix Bug on Login Page.
   • Body (optional): You can add a more detailed description for the Issue. For example, User receives no response after clicking the login button..
3. Run and Verify:
   • When all required parameters are filled in correctly, the error prompt in the upper right corner of the workflow canvas will disappear.
   • Click the "Test Run" button in the upper right corner of the canvas to execute the workflow.
   • After successful execution, you can click the log icon in the upper right corner to view the detailed input and output of the node. The Issue field in the output will contain detailed information about the newly created Issue. You can also visit your GitHub repository to confirm whether the new Issue has been successfully created.

Final Workflow Display

After completing the above steps, your entire workflow will be configured. After clicking "Test Run", a new Issue will be successfully created in your specified GitHub repository.

6. FAQs

Q: Why am I receiving a 403 Forbidden or 404 Not Found error when operating on private repositories?

A: This is usually due to insufficient permissions. Please check the following:

• Credential Permissions: Ensure that the Personal Access Token (PAT) you use for GoInsight credentials has sufficient permission scopes. For reading and writing private repositories, you typically need the repo scope.
• Repository Access: Confirm that your GitHub account itself has the appropriate permissions (for example, write permissions) for the target repository.

Q: What format should the SearchQuery parameter be in when using the "Search Repository" operation?

A: The SearchQuery parameter uses GitHub's official search syntax. You can combine multiple keywords and qualifiers for precise searching. For example, to search for repositories containing the keyword "goinsight" that use the Go language and have more than 100 stars, you can fill in: goinsight language:go stars:>100.

Q: Do I need to perform Base64 encoding myself for the FileContent in the "Create a File" operation?

A: No. You only need to provide the original text content in the FileContent field. The GoInsight node will automatically perform Base64 encoding for you when sending the request to the GitHub API.
