2 Getting Started

This manual guides you through the steps that are necessary to use the Forge package and/or to make a request using just Ghub itself, such as this:

(ghub-request "GET" "/user")

To be able to do that, Ghub needs to know who you want to talk to, who you are, and how you are going to prove the latter to the former.

Additionally Ghub wants to know on behalf of which Emacs package it is making a request. So the question of "who is making the request" has to be rephrased as "which human (or bot) is using what (Emacs) package to make the request". If, for example, the human known as "tarsius" is using the forge package, then that is represented in some places using the string "tarsius^forge".
