libgithub is a C client library for accessing the Github REST API and has been tested on Linux (Debian variants), MacOS, and FreeBSD with GCC and Clang, amd64 and arm64 architectures.

To initialize the library, the user's github token is required.

gh_client_init(token);

Clean up after use.

gh_client_free();

If an error occurs during the call, the error will be put into the response->err_msg field and response->resp will be set to NULL.

gh_client_response_t *res = gh_client_repo_release_by_tag("briandowns", "spinner", "v1.29.16");
if (res->err_msg != NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", res->err_msg);
    gh_client_response_free(res);
}

To build the shared object:

make install
