# `@actions/github`
> A hydrated Octokit client.
## Usage
Returns an authenticated Octokit client that follows the machine [proxy settings](https://help.github.com/en/actions/automating-your-workflow-with-github-actions/about-self-hosted-runners#using-a-proxy-server-with-self-hosted-runners). 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, 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!'
});
```
## Webhook payload typescript definitions
The npm module `@octokit/webhooks` provides type definitions for the response payloads. You can cast the payload to these types for better type information.
First, install the npm module `npm install @octokit/webhooks`
Then, assert the type based on the eventName
```ts
import * as core from '@actions/core'
import * as github from '@actions/github'
import * as Webhooks from '@octokit/webhooks'
if (github.context.eventName === 'push') {
const pushPayload = github.context.payload as Webhooks.WebhookPayloadPush
core.info(`The head commit is: ${pushPayload.head}`)
}
```
