GotHub is a library for interfacing with GitHub, for the Go programming language.
You can pronounce it like "got hub", "goth hub" for those darker times, or really, however the heck you feel like pronouncing it.
"go thub" is also acceptable.
Well, simply because I wanted a client-side library with which to utilize GitHub's APIs, in a similar fashion to the PyGithub library for Python.
A simple go get github.com/nesv/gothub should be sufficient.

You betcha. Check out the LICENSE.md file — the code and documentation for this project is kept under the MIT license. In other words, feel free to copy it, sell it, do whatever you want, just make sure to include the provided LICENSE.md file if you incorporate it into your stuff (or your company's stuff).
And you can! No Go project can really be "complete" without tests.
To run the tests, you need to set two environment variables: GITHUB_USERNAME and
GITHUB_PASSWORD. Here is how you can run the tests without having to save these trinkets of
information anywhere:
$ GITHUB_USERNAME=<login> GITHUB_PASSWORD=<password> go test -v
Afterwards, be sure to delete your shell's history file, so that your credentials aren't laying around anywhere.
Help is always appreciated!
If you have a bug or a feature request, please create an issue here in GitHub.
All of the development tasks are planned out in Trello. If you would like to keep track of what is being worked on, check out the GotHub Development board. The tasks in Trello are broken down much further than they are in GitHub.
Once a feature, or bug, is completed in Trello, we will update the GitHub issue accordingly.
Even better! Sign up for an account on Trello and assign yourself to a card so the work can be appropriately coordinated, then fork the repository. After your code is done, tests have passed and all that good stuff, submit a pull request and your code will be merged in.
