KtGitHub - Kotlin multiplatform library for accessing the GitHub API

Get started

This library is in alpha and releases are only available form JitPack for the time being. They will be added to Maven Central once it is stable.

In your Gradle build file:

repositories {
  maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

In your app Gradle build file:

dependencies {
  implementation("com.github.russellbanks.KtGitHub:KtGitHub:<version>")
}

In a multiplatform project:

val commonMain by getting {
    dependencies {
        implementation("com.github.russellbanks.KtGitHub:KtGitHub:<version>") 
    }
}

You also need a Ktor engine:

dependencies {
  implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-<engine>:<version>")
}

In a multiplatform project, make sure to add the engine under each platform. For example:

val jvmMain by getting {
    dependencies {
        implementation("io.ktor:ktor-client-cio:<version>") 
    }
}

Create the GitHub object with your engine and an optional DSL builder:

val gitHub = GitHub.create(engine) // CIO, Java, JS, etc

val gitHub = GitHub.create(engine) {
    token = "GITHUB TOKEN"
}
