Service Overview
GitHub REST API is the official developer platform rest api from GitHub for repositories, issues, pull requests, branches, commits, and file-content operations. This Hub entry keeps the service explanation, setup links, and Harbor-safe import path together so operators can review the integration before local credentials and policies are applied.

What This Port Does
- Fetch the authenticated GitHub user profile and list user-scoped repositories, issues, organizations, and notifications.
- Inspect repository metadata, issues, issue comments, pull requests, branches, commits, comparisons, and file contents with explicit repo-scoped inputs.
- Create repositories, issues, issue comments, pull requests, merge pull requests, update issues, and write single repository files through approval-friendly Harbor actions.
- Includes 17 automatic read actions and 7 approval-gated write actions that can be reviewed and enabled selectively.
- Keeps service credentials local to Harbor Node so approval, execution, and audit stay inside the Harbor ecosystem.
Operator Setup
- Create or confirm a GitHub account, workspace, or tenant with the API access needed for the actions you plan to enable.
- Import this Hub entry into Harbor, then verify the service base URL and connection settings before testing actions.
- Store the required Bearer token locally in Harbor Node using the Authorization header, then review automatic versus approval-required actions before publish.
- Use the vendor setup guide linked below to create service credentials, scopes, or app registration settings that match your Harbor policy.
