gatsby-source-gh

Gatsby source plugin for files in a GitHub repository

Installation

1. Add this package as a dependency

yarn add gatsby-source-gh

npm install --save gatsby-source-gh

2. Configure the plugin in gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `gatsby-source-gh`,
      options: {
        repo: `<GITHUB_REPOSITORY>`,
        user: `<GITHUB_USERNAME>`,
      },
    },
  ],
}

3. Querying

All queried files will return a node with content containing the raw text of the file and all of the data returned when querying for a file on GitHub’s API.

Example query

query GitHubQuery {
  allGitHubFile {
    edges {
      node {
        name
        path
        content
      }
    }
  }
}

  "name": "hello.md",
  "path": "content/hello.md",
  "content": "Hello world",
