Github-User-Api

This library provides methods to interact with GitHub's API for the following functionalities:

Fetch User Repositories: Retrieves a list of all repositories for a specified GitHub user. Fetch a Single Repository: Retrieves detailed information about a specific repository for a user. Fetch Issues for a Repository: Retrieves a list of issues for a specified repository. The library uses the requests library to make HTTP requests to GitHub's API, it can authenticate requests using a GitHub personal access token.

Steps to generate personel-token

• Log in with your GitHub username and password. Navigate to Settings:

• Click on your profile picture in the top-right corner of the page. Select Settings from the dropdown menu. Access Developer Settings:

• In the left sidebar, scroll down and click on Developer settings. Create a New Personal Access Token:

• Click on Personal access tokens in the left sidebar.

• Click on the Generate new token button on the right side of the page.

• Configure Token Settings:

Note: Give your token a descriptive name in the Note field.

Expiration: Choose an expiration period for your token or set it to No expiration.

• Scopes: Select the scopes or permissions you want the token to have. For general repository access, select: repo: Full control of private repositories. read:org: Read-only access to organization membership. user: Read-only access to your profile information. notifications: Read your notifications. Note: Select additional scopes based on your specific needs.

• Generate Token: Once you have selected the desired scopes, click the Generate token button at the bottom of the page. Save Your Token:

Important: Copy the generated token immediately and store it securely. You will not be able to see it again once you leave the page. Note: Treat this token like a password; do not share it or expose it in your code.
