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

**Repositories** are containers where the complete project and its files are presented on GitHub. In addition, various versions of the files also exist in that repository. The owner of the repository can be the person themselves or anyone they would like to share the ownership with. We can create branches inside a repository where each type of file can be isolated from another.

Request Parameters

Let's look at a brief explanation of the above code:


* **Line 1:** We define the URL of the endpoint.
* **Lines 8–10:** We define the required body parameters.
* **Lines 18–25:** We define the `async` function that will call the defined endpoint.
    * **Line 21:** In case of a successful request, the response of the API call is printed by invoking the `printResponse` function.
    * **Line 23:** Otherwise, the error is printed by calling `printErrors` function.
* **Line 27:** We call the `async` function.

Learn and practice the functionalities of repositories in the GitHub API.
