Introduction

Set up a fully functional Github Agent powered by OpenAI’s GPT model quickly using the Agentica CLI. This agent lets you interact with Github—search users, retrieve profiles, and list repositories—through natural language commands.

Quick CLI Setup

Launch the Agentica Setup Wizard with a single command:

npx agentica start github-agent

The wizard guides you through:

  • Installing required packages (e.g., [email protected])
  • Choosing your package manager and project type
  • Selecting the GITHUB controller
  • Entering your OPENAI_API_KEY

Once complete, Agentica automatically generates your code, creates a .env file, and installs all dependencies.

Generated Code Overview

The generated code looks like this:

import { Agentica } from "@agentica/core"; import { GithubService } from "@wrtnlabs/connector-github"; import dotenv from "dotenv"; import OpenAI from "openai"; import typia from "typia"; dotenv.config(); const openai = new OpenAI({ apiKey: process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY }); export const GithubAgent = new Agentica({ model: "chatgpt", vendor: { api: openai, model: "gpt-4o-mini", }, controllers: [ { name: "Github Connector", protocol: "class", application: typia.llm.application<GithubService, "chatgpt">(), execute: new GithubService({ secret: process.env.GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN!, }), }, ], });

This code instantly sets up your Github Agent to interact with Github via its API.

Github API Setup

Before running your agent, configure your Github API credentials:

  1. Create a Github Application:

    • Visit Github Developer Settings to create a new OAuth application.
    • An OAuth application allows you to obtain a token (starting with gho_), which boosts your API rate limit for more stable usage.
  2. Obtain Credentials:

    • Generate the necessary token and ensure you have the required permissions.
  3. Set Up Environment Variables:

    • Create or update your .env file with:
    OPENAI_API_KEY=your-openai-api-key GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN=your-github-access-token

What This Does

Your Github Agent will:

  • Process Github Data: Use the GithubService connector to search users, fetch profiles, and list repositories.
  • Leverage OpenAI’s GPT Model: Translate natural language queries into Github API calls.
  • Maintain Type Safety: With typia.
  • Securely Manage Credentials: Using environment variables via dotenv.
