Manage code repositories

Using
GitHub

Create, update, and manage GitHub repositories programmatically

Overview

This use case demonstrates how to implement manage code repositories using the GitHub MCP server. Follow the instructions below to get started.

Prerequisites

  • Basic knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript
  • Node.js installed on your machine
  • An API key for the GitHub service

Implementation

Here's a step-by-step guide to implementing this use case:

1. Install the package

npm install github

2. Set up your environment

Create a new file and import the necessary dependencies:

import { GitHub } from 'github';

// Initialize the client
const client = new GitHub({
apiKey: process.env.API_KEY
});

3. Implement the functionality

Now you can use the client to implement the manage code repositories functionality:

async function codemanagement() {
try {
  const result = await client.query({
    // Add your query parameters here
    // ...
  });
  
  console.log(result);
  return result;
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error:', error);
  throw error;
}
}

// Call the function
codemanagement();
