To create a GitHub Copilot extension for Chrome in Python, first you need to create a Chrome extension that can authenticate a user and make requests to the GitHub API using OAuth.
Here are the general steps you can follow:
Get credentials for GitHub API OAuth by creating a new OAuth application in the GitHub developer settings. Save the client_id
and client_secret
.
Load the necessary libraries in Python, such as requests.
main.py16 chars2 lines
main.py295 chars8 lines
The function above will return the URL required to initiate the OAuth process.
access_token
to make requests to the GitHub API. You can use the requests
library to make HTTP requests to the API endpoints:main.py215 chars6 lines
The function above gets the user's information from the GitHub API. You can add more functions to interact with the Copilot feature.
Overall, building a GitHub Copilot extension for Chrome in Python requires knowledge of the GitHub API, OAuth, HTTP requests, and Chrome extension development. With a solid background in these areas, though, you should be able to make your idea a reality.
