v13.0.0

BREAKING CHANGES

• .get{Scope name}Api() methods have been removed.

  Before you could do this

  const reposApi = github.getReposApi()

  Which is the same as doing

  const reposApi = github.repos

  So we removed it :)

• Before a link header could be passed directly to pagination methods like github.hasPreviousPage(linkHeaderValue). This was never documented and is not being used internally, so we decided to remove the functionality to simplify the code

• The debug option for the GitHub Client constructor
  has been removed. Set DEBUG=node-github:* environment variable instead

• The current implementation has the upload URL hard coded, while the specification says that it has to be received from the Release API endpoint:
  https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#upload-a-release-asset

  The new implementation also requires contentType as well as contentLength. The latter is not documented, but is required. The filePath option has been replaced with a file option which can be either a read stream, a buffer or a string.

  Altogether, uploading an asset before worked like this:

  github.repos.getReleaseByTag({
    owner: "octokit-fixture-org",
    repo: "release-assets",
    tag: "v1.0.0"
  })
  
  .then(result => {
    return github.repos.uploadAsset({
      owner: "octokit-fixture-org",
      repo: "release-assets",
      id: result.data.id,
      filePath: pathResolve(__dirname, "test-upload.txt"),
      name: "test-upload.txt",
      label: "test"
    })
  })

  Now it looks like this

  github.repos.getReleaseByTag({
    owner: "octokit-fixture-org",
    repo: "release-assets",
    tag: "v1.0.0"
  })
  
  .then(result => {
    return github.repos.uploadAsset({
      url: result.data.upload_url,
      file: "Hello, world!\n",
      contentType: "text/plain",
      contentLength: 14,
      name: "test-upload.txt",
      label: "test"
    })
  })

• the followRedirects option has been removed. Previous problems with non-GET redirects should be handled correctly now, the method is always forwarded as all redirects remain within the same host

• Authentication with "netrc" is no longer supported:

  github.authenticate({
    type: "netrc"
  })

  Instead, use the netrc package directly and pass username/password to "basic" authentication

  const netrc = require('netrc')
  const myNetrc = netrc()
  
  github.authenticate({
    type: 'basic',
    username: myNetrc['api.github.com'].login,
    password: myNetrc['api.github.com'].password
  })

• passing a custom Promise option to the constructor is no longer supported

  All suppertod Node versions (4, 6 and 8) have Promise support built in now. So migrating should be as simple as removing the Promise option altogether.
