Can not find the .github file

[to2raja]

Hi,

I am using this jar in my project. Happy to know that possible to create repo from java in GitHub. Thanks for your efforts..

I just added jars and tried to test as a java application, but I got an error, which says .github folder is not available.

Here is my code,

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    String name = "name - new-repo";
    String description = "description - this is my new repository";
    String homepage = "homepage - http://www.kohsuke.org/";
    boolean isPublic = true;

    GitHub github = GitHub.connectUsingPassword("myUserName", "password");
    GHRepository repo = github.createRepository(name, description, homepage, isPublic);

    System.out.println(repo.getOwner());
    System.out.println(repo.getLanguage());

}

And the exception is as follows,

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\user\ .github (The system cannot find the file specified)
at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)
at java.io.FileInputStream.(Unknown Source)
at org.kohsuke.github.GitHub.connect(GitHub.java:144)
at com.votsh.repository.GitRepo.main(GitRepo.java:28)

Thanks in advance

Any update in this?

Hi @to2raja,
You need to create a file named = '.github' in "C:\Users\user" folder. That .github file will contain two lines:
login=loginName
password=loginPassword.

Hope it helps. Let us know if it works.

BTW, the provided stacktrace does not fit the code you've provided. You don't call GitHub.connect() in it. IIRC GitHub.connectUsingPassword() should not require the .github as I see from the code.
