I am new to Octokit.NET. Trying to use it to login to my repo and then get a particular repository in a WinRT 8.1 Universal app. Ultimately I want to read some .cs files in that repo as text. I am using following code to authenticate and get all repos. However I keep empty error message. Not sure if I am using the Octokit the right way-

 var credentials = GithubHelper.Credentials;
 var connection = new Octokit.Connection(new Octokit.ProductHeaderValue("dotnet-test-functional"),new Uri("https://mygit.github.com"))
 {
      Credentials = credentials
 };
 var octokitClient = new Octokit.GitHubClient(connection);

 IReadOnlyList <Octokit.Repository> repos = await octokitClient.Repository.GetAllForCurrent();

I would appreciate if someone can help me out with this.

Thanks

Just for googlers, the octokit.net api now has Repository Contents APIs in it.

var AllContent  = await client.Repository.Content.GetAllContent(repo.Owner.Login, repo.Name);

To get unencoded text from a file, you can do this

var textOfFirstFile = AllContent[0].Content;

Not sure about the specific exception here, but I'll walk you through the steps anyway.

The baseAddress overload on GitHubClient is for when you need to connect to a GitHub Enterprise environment. If you're just connecting to github.com, you don't need to specify it.

var client = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("dotnet-test-functional"));
client.Credentials = GithubHelper.Credentials;
var repos = await client.Repository.GetAllForCurrent();

That should return you the repositories associated with the current user.

However the Repository Contents APIs are not currently implemented (there's a pull request in the queue where we've been discussing how to go about it, but it's not close to ready).
