PyGitHub is a Python library to access the [GitHub REST API].
This library enables you to manage [GitHub] resources such as repositories, user profiles, and organizations in your Python applications.
[GitHub REST API]: https://docs.github.com/en/rest
[GitHub]: https://github.com
## Install
```bash
pip install PyGithub
```
## Simple Demo
```python
from github import Github
# Authentication is defined via github.Auth
from github import Auth
# using an access token
auth = Auth.Token("access_token")
# First create a Github instance:
# Public Web Github
g = Github(auth=auth)
# Github Enterprise with custom hostname
g = Github(base_url="https://{hostname}/api/v3", auth=auth)
# Then play with your Github objects:
for repo in g.get_user().get_repos():
print(repo.name)
# To close connections after use
g.close()
```
