github VS tailscale

I really like the go-github library, one can learn a lot about how good APIs are written and designed https://github.com/google/go-github.

what you described is basically what I did for the integration tests in the go-github library: https://github.com/google/go-github/tree/master/test

The tool itself is written in Go, leveraging a library called go-github to fetch gitignores. In the first iteration, it can either download a new gitignore file based on selected language and framework (for now it has to be one of the gitignore files present in the aformentioned github/gitignore repo) or replace existing gitignore by specifying new language and path of the ignore to be replaced.

I have a private Github repo where I store all the content for the computer science courses on Boot.dev in markdown files. It would be really convenient if user reported issues automatically manifested as Github issues on that repository! After just a few minutes of digging, I realized it was quite easy to do with the Github API. Given that my backend is a REST-ish API written in Go, I decided to use Google's Github API client package and the official Golang oauth2 package.

If you're building in Go, bradleyfalzon/ghinstallation is an implementation of http.RoundTripper which authenticates as a GitHub App, for example to use in combination with google/go-github.

Go client library for accessing the GitHub API v3

You may want to use the GitHub library as they have already done the work of wrapping the api. "GitHub - google/go-github: Go library for accessing the GitHub API" https://github.com/google/go-github

Use the google/go-github client (Github REST API client) to check GitHub releases for the latest release version

The exporter is written in Go and utilizes a GitHub client library to execute searches using the GitHub search API. The exporter is basically a CLI that takes in configuration options via arguments then runs a web server in a loop that looks for new pull request data periodically.

Tailscale - Built on WireGuard. Easy to use. Control server is closed source. Client code available with a BSD3 license + separate patents file.

Tailscale

I'm using the GitHub version of tailscaled on one of my Macs as a background daemon launched at boot. To upgrade to the latest version, try the following:

Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard® protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

Might be possible to do using a VPN as long as you can get broadcast/multicast packets forwarded.

Tailscale unfortunately doesn't support it...yet?

Tailscale - Make depaware output patch compatible

Tailscale is another way of doing it. I'm using it to access my Pi's Samba shares from my phone but it works from Windows as well.
