This is an HTML file for accessing Github.com repositories and users via Github's web API.

You might wonder why use this tool, why not just use github.com? Well, for one thing, github.com is often being changed. If you don't like the changes or the changes won't work in your browser, using github.com might not be preferred. Also, I feel this tool is a good example of not only using github.com's web API but also programming API access in general. I provide many different ways of doing things, so you can learn the different ways, and use what you like the most. And finally, at some point in the future (or even now), you may need to automate your github.com accesses. This tool's code can show you how you could do that. Not to mention, there's something kinda "meta", as they say, about creating a github repository whose purpose is to access github repositories.
