# `@actions/github`
> A hydrated Octokit client.
## Usage
Returns an Octokit client. See https://octokit.github.io/rest.js for the API.
```js
const github = require('@actions/github');
const core = require('@actions/core');
async function run() {
// This should be a token with access to your repository scoped in as a secret.
// The YML workflow will need to set myToken with the GitHub Secret Token
// myToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
// https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/authenticating-with-the-github_token#about-the-github_token-secret
const myToken = core.getInput('myToken');
const octokit = new github.GitHub(myToken);
const { data: pullRequest } = await octokit.pulls.get({
owner: 'octokit',
repo: 'rest.js',
pull_number: 123,
mediaType: {
format: 'diff'
}
});
console.log(pullRequest);
}
run();
```
You can pass client options (except `auth`, which is handled by the token argument), as specified by [Octokit](https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/), as a second argument to the `GitHub` constructor.
You can also make GraphQL requests. See https://github.com/octokit/graphql.js for the API.
```js
const result = await octokit.graphql(query, variables);
```
Finally, you can get the context of the current action:
```js
const github = require('@actions/github');
const context = github.context;
const newIssue = await octokit.issues.create({
...context.repo,
title: 'New issue!',
body: 'Hello Universe!'
});
```
