Gatsby source plugin for files in a GitHub repository

Installation

1. Add this package as a dependency

yarn add gatsby-source-gh

npm install --save gatsby-source-gh

2. Configure the plugin in gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {

        user: `<GITHUB_USERNAME>`,

query GitHubQuery {
  allGitHubFile {
    edges {
      node {
        name
