API

ghRaw.get(path, [options])

options is required without extend because repository should be specified.

ghRaw.get('/data/text.md', {
  repository: 'zeakd/gh-raw',
})

// specific branch
ghRaw.get('/data/text.md', {
  repository: 'zeakd/gh-raw',
  blob: 'samples'

  // or you can use alias
  // branch: 'samples'
})

// specific commit
ghRaw.get('/data/text.md', {
  repository: 'zeakd/gh-raw',
  blob: '9f311db2f4d5032252351806778306dfba1f4be4'

  // or you can use alias
  // commit: '9f311db2f4d5032252351806778306dfba1f4be4'
})

ghRaw.extend(options)

ghRaw is extendable. it would be convenient to extend with reposotory option.

const rawRepo = ghRaw.extend({
  repository: 'zeakd/gh-raw',
})

rawRepo.get('data/text.md')

const sampleRepo = rawRepo.extend({
  blob: 'samples',
})

sampleRepo.get('data/text.md')

options

{
  repository: 'zeakd/gh-raw' // default: undefined, 
  blob: 'master' // default: 'master'. alias : ['branch', 'commit']
}
