Getting Started

Tools Required

• PIP
• A correctly configured Python environment for Tkinter.

Installation

In a command line, run these commands:

$ python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip 

$ python3 -m pip install py-github-gui-rackodo

The second command should install Py Github GUI and all of its necessary dependencies.

Using

To use Py Github GUI, you'll first need a Github Personal Access Token. Here's how to get one:

1. Navigate to Github's settings page and scroll down to Developer Settings.
2. Click on Personal Access Tokens, then Tokens (Classic).
3. Click on Generate New Token, then Generate New Token (Classic). Verify your password if necessary.
4. Name the token whatever you'd like, give it an expiry date however you see fit, and then scroll down to check the box next to read:user.
5. Generate the token, and save it in a text file so you don't lose it.

Now, to actually use Py Github GUI, run this command:

$ python3 -m py_github_gui ghp_yourgeneratedtoken12345

In the opened window, type the username of a GitHub user and press the Get Information button. The available information will be shown.
