githubkit aims to be an easy-to-use, fully typed, and always up-to-date GitHub SDK for Python. It is inspired by octokit.

githubkit provides several features including:

• Support both sync and async calls
• Multiple authentication ways and OAuth flow support
• Calling REST API and GraphQL easily
• REST API versioning, including GHEC
• Built-in pagination support
• Optional data validation with Pydantic, for both webhook events and REST API responses
• Built-in http cache (powered by Hishel for HTTPX) and auto retry
• Lazy loading of APIs and models
• Fully typed APIs
