Java Nio FileSystem for accessing github.
Accessing a github repository is very simple:
Path root = Paths.get(URI.create("github:gnodet/githubfs?revision=master!/"));
The uri syntax is the following:
github:[login[:password]@]user/repository[?params][!/[path]]
Where
| Name | Description |
|------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
| login | the login to access github |
| password | the password to authenticate |
| user | the github user or organization |
| repository | the repository name |
| path | the file or directory in the repository |
| params | additional connection parameters with a uri query syntax |
| oauth | the oauth token to use |
| revision | the revision of the repository to use |
The login, password and oauth token will also be loaded as defaults from the ~/.github property file if it exists.
If a login has been provided in the uri, the login in the configuration file must match.
