>>> g = login(username, password)
>>> repo = g.repository('sigmavirus24', 'Todo.txt-python')
>>> sha = repo.create_blob('Testing blob creation', 'utf-8')
>>> sha
u'57fad9a39b27e5eb4700f66673ce860b65b93ab8'
>>> blob = repo.blob(sha)
>>> blob.content
u'VGVzdGluZyBibG9iIGNyZWF0aW9u\n'
>>> blob.decoded
u'Testing blob creation'
>>> blob.encoding
u'base64'

Create a tag on a commit:

>>> g = login(username, password)
>>> repo = g.repository('sigmavirus24', 'github3.py')
>>> tag = repo.tag('cdba84b4fede2c69cb1ee246b33f49f19475abfa')
>>> tag
<Tag [cdba84b4fede2c69cb1ee246b33f49f19475abfa]>
