Inspiration

GitHub is the leading version control system with 28 million users and 57 million repositories. I want to create a user friendly connector to access the data from GitHub platform (Both Public and Enterprise)

What it does

It connects to GitHub to manage the issues in a repository and for the user.

How I Built it

The Custom Activity connector is built as the .net class library. This GitHub connector is inspired by ExcelApplicationScope and the child activities. Similar framework is adapted to execute the new GitHub activities within GitHubApplicationScope.

Challenges I ran into

Creating the activity with design standards was a challenge

What I learned

Effective way of designing an activity

What's next for DH.GitHub

Access to all the repo details to be added to the package in upcoming months.

UiPath GitHub Activities

Application connector for UiPath to connect to GitHub and manage issues. Built using C# to access github API.

Enterprise GitHub

This connector supports both public GitHub and Enterprise Github. Enterprise GitHub is accessed by authenticating with username and personal access token (instead of password)

Activities
