A GitHub API client library written in POSIX sh

https://github.com/whiteinge/ok.sh BSD licensed.

Requirements

A POSIX environment (tested against Busybox v1.19.4)
curl (tested against 7.32.0)

Optional requirements

jq http://stedolan.github.io/jq/ (tested against 1.3) If jq is not installed commands will output raw JSON; if jq is installed the output will be formatted and filtered for use with other shell tools.

Setup

Authentication credentials are read from a $HOME/.netrc file on UNIX machines or a _netrc file in %HOME% for UNIX environments under Windows. Generate the token on GitHub under "Account Settings -> Applications". Restrict permissions on that file with chmod 600 ~/.netrc!

machine api.github.com
    login <username>
    password <token>

machine uploads.github.com
    login <username>
    password <token>

Or set an environment GITHUB_TOKEN=token

Configuration

The following environment variables may be set to customize ok.sh.

OK_SH_URL=https://api.github.com Base URL for GitHub or GitHub Enterprise.
OK_SH_ACCEPT=application/vnd.github.v3+json The 'Accept' header to send with each request.
OK_SH_JQ_BIN=jq The name of the jq binary, if installed.
OK_SH_VERBOSE=0 The debug logging verbosity level. Same as the verbose flag.
OK_SH_RATE_LIMIT=0 Output current GitHub rate limit information to stderr.
OK_SH_DESTRUCTIVE=0 Allow destructive operations without prompting for confirmation.
OK_SH_MARKDOWN=1 Output some text in Markdown format.

Usage

ok.sh [<flags>] (command [<arg>, <name=value>...])

ok.sh -h              # Short, usage help text.
ok.sh help            # All help text. Warning: long!
ok.sh help command    # Command-specific help text.
ok.sh command         # Run a command with and without args.
ok.sh command foo bar baz=Baz qux='Qux arg here'

Flag	Description
-V	Show version.
-h	Show this screen.
-j	Output raw JSON; don't process with jq.
-q	Quiet; don't print to stdout.
-r	Print current GitHub API rate limit to stderr.
-v	Logging output; specify multiple times: info, debug, trace.
-x	Enable xtrace debug logging.
-y	Answer 'yes' to any prompts.

Flags must be the first argument to ok.sh, before command.

Commands

_all_funcs

List all functions found in the current file in the order they appear

Keyword arguments

public=1

0 do not output public functions.
private=1

0 do not output private functions.

_log

A lightweight logging system based on file descriptors

Usage:

_log debug 'Starting the combobulator!'

Positional arguments

level="$1"

The level for a given log message. (info or debug)
message="$2"

The log message.

_helptext

Extract contiguous lines of comments and function params as help text

Indentation will be ignored. She-bangs will be ignored. Local variable declarations and their default values can also be pulled in as documentation. Exits upon encountering the first blank line.

Exported environment variables can be used for string interpolation in the extracted commented text.

Input

(stdin) The text of a function body to parse.

_format_json

Create formatted JSON from name=value pairs

Usage:

ok.sh _format_json foo=Foo bar=123 baz=true qux=Qux=Qux quux='Multi-line
string' quuz=\'5.20170918\' \
  corge="$(ok.sh _format_json grault=Grault)" \
  garply="$(ok.sh _format_json -a waldo true 3)"

Return:

{
  "garply": [
    "waldo",
    true,
    3
  ],
  "foo": "Foo",
  "corge": {
    "grault": "Grault"
  },
  "baz": true,
  "qux": "Qux=Qux",
  "quux": "Multi-line\nstring",
  "quuz": "5.20170918",
  "bar": 123
}

Tries not to quote numbers, booleans, nulls, or nested structures. Note, nested structures must be quoted since the output contains spaces.

The -a option will create an array instead of an object. This option must come directly after the _format_json command and before any operands. E.g., _format_json -a foo bar baz.

If jq is installed it will also validate the output.

Positional arguments

$1 - $9

Each positional arg must be in the format of name=value which will be added to a single, flat JSON object.

_format_urlencode

URL encode and join name=value pairs

Usage:

_format_urlencode foo='Foo Foo' bar='<Bar>&/Bar/'

Return:

foo=Foo%20Foo&bar=%3CBar%3E%26%2FBar%2F

Ignores pairs if the value begins with an underscore.

_filter_json

Filter JSON input using jq; outputs raw JSON if jq is not installed

Usage:

printf '[{"foo": "One"}, {"foo": "Two"}]' | \
    ok.sh _filter_json '.[] | "\(.foo)"'

(stdin) JSON input.
_filter="$1"

A string of jq filters to apply to the input stream.

_get_mime_type

Guess the mime type for a file based on the file extension

Usage:

local mime_type
_get_mime_type "foo.tar"; printf 'mime is: %s' "$mime_type"

Sets the global variable mime_type with the result. (If this function is called from within a function that has declared a local variable of that name it will update the local copy and not set a global.)

Positional arguments

filename="$1"

The full name of the file, with extension.

_get_confirm

Prompt the user for confirmation

Usage:

local confirm; _get_confirm
[ "$confirm" -eq 1 ] && printf 'Good to go!\n'

If global confirmation is set via $OK_SH_DESTRUCTIVE then the user is not prompted. Assigns the user's confirmation to the confirm global variable. (If this function is called within a function that has a local variable of that name, the local variable will be updated instead.)

Positional arguments

message="$1"

The message to prompt the user with.

_opts_filter

Extract common jq filter keyword options and assign to vars

Usage:

local filter
_opts_filter "$@"

_opts_pagination

Extract common pagination keyword options and assign to vars

Usage:

local _follow_next
_opts_pagination "$@"

Extract common query string keyword options and assign to vars

Usage:

# Send a POST request; parse response using jq:
printf '{"title": "%s", "body": "%s"}\n' "Stuff" "Things" \
  | _request /some/path | jq -r '.[url]'

# Send a PUT request; parse response using jq:
printf '{"title": "%s", "body": "%s"}\n' "Stuff" "Things" \
  | _request /repos/:owner/:repo/issues method=PUT | jq -r '.[url]'

# Send a conditional-GET request:
_request /users etag=edd3a0d38d8c329d3ccc6575f17a76bb

Input

(stdin) Data that will be used as the request body.

Positional arguments

Keyword arguments

method='GET'

The method to use for the HTTP request.
content_type='application/json'

The value of the Content-Type header to use for the request.
etag

An optional Etag to send as the If-None-Match header.

_response

Process an HTTP response from curl

Output only headers of interest followed by the response body. Additional processing is performed on select headers to make them easier to parse using shell tools.

Usage:

# Send a request; output the response and only select response headers:
_request /some/path | _response status_code ETag Link_next

# Make request using curl; output response with select response headers;
# assign response headers to local variables:
curl -isS example.com/some/path | _response status_code status_text | {
  local status_code status_text
  read -r status_code
  read -r status_text
}

Header reformatting

HTTP Status

The HTTP line is split into separate http_version, status_code, and status_text variables.
ETag

The surrounding quotes are removed.
Link

Each URL in the Link header is expanded with the URL type appended to the name. E.g., Link_first, Link_last, Link_next.

Positional arguments

$1 - $9

Each positional arg is the name of an HTTP header. Each header value is output in the same order as each argument; each on a single line. A blank line is output for headers that cannot be found.

_get

Will automatically follow 'next' pagination URLs in the Link header.

Usage:

_get /some/path
_get /some/path _follow_next=0
_get /some/path _follow_next_limit=200 | jq -c .

Positional arguments

path="$1"

The HTTP path or URL to pass to _request().

Keyword arguments

_follow_next=1

Positional arguments

path="$1"

The HTTP path or URL to pass to _request().

Keyword arguments

method='POST'

The method to use for the HTTP request.
filename

Optional. See the stdin option above also. Takes precedence over any data passed as stdin and loads a file off the file system to serve as the request body.
mime_type

The value of the Content-Type header to use for the request. If the filename argument is given this value will be guessed from the file extension. If the filename argument is not given (i.e., using stdin) this value defaults to application/json. Specifying this argument overrides all other defaults or guesses.
