Issue Code Examples

Examples using Issues

Administrating Issues

Let's assume you have your username and password stored in user and pw respectively, you have your repository name stored in repo, and the number of the issue you're concerned with in num.

from github3 import login

gh = login(user, pw)
issue = gh.issue(user, repo, num)
if issue.is_closed():
    issue.reopen()

issue.edit('New issue title', issue.body + '\n------\n**Update:** Text to append')

Closing and Commenting on Issues

# Assuming issue is the same as above ...
issue.create_comment('This should be fixed in 6d4oe5. Closing as fixed.')
issue.close()

Example issue to comment on

If you would like to test the above, see issue #108. Just follow the code there and fill in your username, password (or token), and comment message. Then run the script and watch as the issue opens in your browser focusing on the comment you just created.

The following shows how you could use github3.py to fetch and display your issues in your own style and in your webbrowser.

.. literalinclude:: source/browser.py
    :language: python

Or how to do the same by wrapping the lines in your terminal.

.. literalinclude:: source/wrap_text.py
    :language: python
