Working with repositories

For convenience, methods that require a repo argument may be passed in any of the following forms

"pengwynn/linked"
=> 'pengwynn', :name => 'linkedin'
=> 'pengwynn', :repo => 'linkedin'
instance of Repo

Show a repo

Octopussy.repo("pengwynn/linkedin")
=> <#Hashie::Mash description="Ruby wrapper for the LinkedIn API" fork=false forks=1 homepage="http://bit.ly/ruby-linkedin" name="linkedin" open_issues=2 owner="pengwynn" private=false url="http://github.com/pengwynn/linkedin" watchers=36>

Authenticated requests

Some methods require authentication so you'll need to pass a login and an api_token. You can find your GitHub API token on your account page

client = Octopussy::Client.new(:login => 'pengwynn', :token => 'OU812')
client.follow!('adamstac')

Note on Patches/Pull Requests

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don't break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

Credits

Octopussy is inspired by Octopi and aims to be a lightweight, less active-resourcey alternative.
