GitHub is one of the most popular code management platforms for software engineers. Developers can use Git to create and edit both personal and shared repositories, control access, and fork projects into various branches. These changes are approved by collaborators and merged back into the main branch before a final release.

This course will introduce you to various GitHub APIs and their endpoints. You’ll learn about authentication and integration with a GitHub developer account to leverage the APIs to manage the code. Next, you’ll learn to manage repositories, branches, commits, projects, collaborators, and deployment. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build a demo application integrated with GitHub APIs using React framework. The course provides hands-on experience in integrating GitHub API into applications for version control of assets/ managing code repositories or projects if needed. You can integrate the API in any language framework of your choice.

# Overview

**Deployment** is a request to deploy resources from one development environment to another to bring them into effective action. These requests can be of any branch, tag, or ID. Deployments minimize the worry of implementation details of various application types. They do so by building a loosely-coupled relation between different deployments. 

External services (such as GitLab, Redmine, etc.) can mark deployments with different deployment statuses. The list below shows these status types:



We can add `description` and `log_url` optionally to the deployment status for more clarity. The deployment and its status are dispatched by GitHub to third parties that upgrade its status as per the progress. As the third party receives the deployment, it is deployed to our server.

# Create a deployment

A recommended practice before merging or pulling a branch is to first deploy and verify it. The deployment can be made in these three different environments:

1. `production`
2. `staging`
3. `qa`

The default environment is set to `production`.

The table below shows some important parameters of the body to create a deployment:
