A Java library providing an object-oriented representation of the GitHub API, with classes like GHUser and GHRepository mapping to GitHub's domain model. It supports github.com and GitHub Enterprise, with multiple authentication mechanisms including OAuth tokens, JWT, and GitHub App flows.

Use cases

• manage github repositories from java
• automate github workflows with a java api
• create github apps with jwt authentication in java
• query github users and organizations programmatically
• integrate github into a jvm-based ci tool
• add collaborators to repos via api

When to choose

• you need a typed, object-oriented Java client for most GitHub REST APIs
• you must support both github.com and GitHub Enterprise
• you need GitHub App authentication flows (JWT, installation tokens) in Java

When to avoid

• you need a client in a non-JVM language
• you only need simple raw HTTP calls and prefer a lightweight REST client
• you require every corner of the GitHub API, as some endpoints are not yet implemented
