<h1>What is this?</h1>
<p>This library defines an object oriented representation of the GitHub API. By "object oriented" we mean
there are classes that correspond to the domain model of GitHub (such as <code>GHUser</code> and <code>GHRepository</code>),
operations that act on them as defined as methods (such as <code>GHUser.follow()</code>), and those object references
are used in favor of using string handle (such as <code>GHUser.isMemberOf(GHOrganization)</code> instead of
<code>GHUser.isMemberOf(String)</code>)</p>
<p>The library supports both github.com and GitHub Enterprise.</p>
<p>There are some corners of the GitHub API that's not yet implemented, but
the library is implemented with the right abstractions and libraries to make it very easy to improve the coverage.</p>
<h2>Sample Usage</h2>
<pre><code>GitHub github = GitHub.connect();
GHRepository repo = github.createRepository(
"new-repository","this is my new repository",
"http://www.kohsuke.org/",true/*public*/);
repo.addCollaborators(github.getUser("abayer"),github.getUser("rtyler"));
repo.delete();
</code></pre>
<h2>Credential</h2>
<p>This library allows the caller to supply the credential as parameters, but it also defines a common convention
so that applications using this library will look at the consistent location. In this convention, the library
looks at <code>~/.github</code> property file, which should have the following two values:</p>
<pre><code>login=kohsuke
password=012345678
</code></pre>
<p>Alternatively, you can have just the OAuth token in this file:</p>
<pre><code>oauth=4d98173f7c075527cb64878561d1fe70
</code></pre>
<h2>OkHttp</h2>
<p>This library comes with a pluggable connector to use different HTTP client implementations
through <code>HttpConnector</code>. In particular, this means you can use <a href="http://square.github.io/okhttp/">OkHttp</a>,
so we can make use of it's HTTP response cache.
Making a conditional request against the GitHub API and receiving a 304 response
<a href="http://developer.github.com/v3/#conditional-requests">does not count against the rate limit</a>.</p>
