Description

Motivation:
#862 #456 #321 #584 #762

PyGithub is a great library, however it may not be intuitive to use at the beginning. Not everyone is a Github API expert, so I am trying to provide some working examples (recipes) that will hopefully help you get started.

The skeleton has been setup here and the example docs is already live on readthedocs as usual:

https://pygithub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples.html

Note that the list will expand and any PR to add more examples is extremely welcome 😄

If you want to see any examples not covered here, just leave a comment.

Research direction

Start with the existing skeleton in doc/examples and review the published examples at examples.html to understand the current coverage. Choose a missing PyGithub usage recipe, add a working example in doc/examples, and consider the work complete when the example is documented and usable by someone new to the library.
