## Overview
`GitHubFileEditor` supports multiple file operations, including editing existing files, creating new files, deleting files, and undoing recent changes.
There are four main commands:
- **EDIT**: Edit an existing file by replacing specific content
- **CREATE**: Create a new file with specified content
- **DELETE**: Delete an existing file
- **UNDO**: Revert the last commit if made by the same user
### Authorization
This component requires GitHub authentication with a personal access token. You can set the token using the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable, or pass it directly during initialization via the `github_token` parameter.
To create a personal access token, visit [GitHub's token settings page](https://github.com/settings/tokens). Make sure to grant the appropriate permissions for repository access and content management.
### Installation
Install the GitHub integration with pip:
```shell
pip install github-haystack
```
## Usage
:::note Repository Placeholder
To run the following code snippets, you need to replace the `owner/repo` with your own GitHub repository name.

editor = GitHubFileEditor(repo="owner/repo", branch="main")
result = editor.run(
command=Command.EDIT,
payload={
"path": "src/example.py",
"original": "def old_function():",
"replacement": "def new_function():",
"message": "Renamed function for clarity"
}
)
print(result)
```
```bash
{'result': 'Edit successful'}
```
Creating a new file:
```python
from haystack_integrations.components.connectors.github import GitHubFileEditor, Command
editor = GitHubFileEditor(repo="owner/repo")
result = editor.run(
command=Command.CREATE,
payload={
"path": "docs/new_file.md",
"content": "# New Documentation\n\nThis is a new file.",
"message": "Add new documentation file"
}
)
print(result)
```
```bash
{'result': 'File created successfully'}
