A sample React application that acts as a GitHub client using Apollo Client and the GitHub GraphQL API, built as a companion to Robin Wieruch's React + GraphQL tutorials. It demonstrates queries, mutations, pagination, and optimistic updates in a real-world codebase for learning purposes.

Use cases

• learn how to use Apollo Client with React
• see a real-world example of consuming the GitHub GraphQL API
• study GraphQL queries and mutations in a React app
• understand pagination and optimistic updates with Apollo
• follow along with a React GraphQL tutorial
• build a GitHub issue tracker client as a learning project

When to choose

• you are learning React with GraphQL and want a guided, tutorial-backed example
• you want to see Apollo Client patterns like render props, pagination, and optimistic updates in practice
• you prefer learning by reading and modifying a complete working application

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready GitHub client or maintained starter template
• you want current Apollo Client or React versions, since the codebase dates from 2018-2020
• you need a project with an active license and ongoing maintenance
