GitHub v3 REST API

GitHub’s v3 REST API.

How to Use This Skill

This API documentation is split into multiple files for on-demand loading.

Directory structure:

references/
├── resources/      # 43 resource index files
├── operations/     # 1078 operation detail files
└── schemas/        # 860 schema groups, 904 schema files

Navigation flow:

1. Find the resource you need in the list below
2. Read references/resources/<resource>.md to see available operations
3. Read references/operations/<operation>.md for full details
4. If an operation references a schema, read references/schemas/<prefix>/<schema>.md
