Learn with Jason: GitHub Automation with Octokit

GitHub Automation with Octokit

GitHub has powerful APIs, and with Octokit we can do just about anything on GitHub through code. Gregor Martynus will teach us how!

— learnwithjason.dev/github-automation-with-octokit

Everyone should be able to follow along. It will be helpful to know these technologies though:

• Node.js + npm
• REST API
• GraphQL
• OAuth
• Webhooks
• Netlify Functions

Feel free to ask any questions ahead of the show about these

Outline

This will be a 90 minute show, so plenty of time to get through. We will boop Jason's nose by utilizing all kinds of GitHub APIs and octokit

1. Part I: Octokit for REST API & GraphQL
   • Create a CLI app that will edit a file on GitHub
   • Use GitHub's OAuth Device flow to authenticate
   • Create an issue using GitHub's REST API and GraphQL API.
   • Publish the package to npm and make it usable with npx.
   • Create a reusable Octokit plugin and publish it as part of the npm package.
2. Part II: Octokit for GitHub Actions
   • Create a GitHub Action with Node.js + Octokit
   • Make the action available to others
   • Publish the action to the Marketplace
3. Part III: Octokit for OAuth Apps, Webhooks, and GitHub Apps
   • Create an OAuth App and deploy it to Netlify Functions. The OAuth app handles the OAuth web flow and bumps the counter as the user by creating a new issue.
   • Setup continuous deployment using Netlify’s GitHub integration.
   • Create a GitHub App that bumps the counter when an issue was created
4. Part IV: Octokit in the browser
   • Create a web app that uses the OAuth web flow to bump the counter, but with a nice custom UI.
