|
could be shared with a prospective employer. It should be easy to read and
|
|
make effective use of color and typography.

GitHub offers two API's you may use to access repo data. You may also choose
|
|
to use an NPM package to access the GitHub API.
|

Documentation for the GitHub API can be found at:
|
|
|
|
- [GitHub REST API V3](https://developer.github.com/v3/)
|
|
- [GitHub GraphQL API V4](https://developer.github.com/v4/)
|
|
|
|
Sample code showing how to use the GitHub API's are:
