There’s a couple of Ruby libraries out there for interacting with Github’s API but one caught my attention through recommendation through IRC channels, and that was Octopi by fcoury. Octopi covers just about everything the Github API has to offer and I was going to use it for a Rails Rumble project so I did some work on it, but pulled out from the competition due to flu & other commitments. In the past couple of days, I nagged fcoury about closing some of the issues on the project and he’s made me a collaborator on the project so I could do it, as his time is filled with Webbynode (they are awesome, check them out) stuff instead.
So I guess I all I have to say is: Go use the Octopi library for your Github stuff. It’s awesome.
