PowerShellForGitHub is a Microsoft-maintained PowerShell module that provides stateless, command-line interaction with the GitHub v3 API. It enables users to automate common GitHub actions such as retrieving repository info, contents, issues, and working with files/directories via the API. It is designed to work with pipeline‐friendly PowerShell syntax and simplify scripting with GitHub from PowerShell.

Features

  • Retrieving GitHub repository metadata, contents, issues, pull requests etc via cmdlets that wrap GitHub API endpoints
  • Support for pipeline chaining so outputs from one command can be forwarded into another (e.g. list repos → get contents etc.)
  • Ability to specify owner/org, repo, path, branch etc. to work with specific parts of repos
  • Stateless design: no persistent state; commands do not depend on local config beyond authentication etc.
  • Authentication support for GitHub token etc. (required to access private or higher quota endpoints)
  • Well-documented with examples / PowerShell gallery presence etc.
