GitHub Request Factory

Build a helper that uses the GitHub Go SDK dependency to construct ready-to-send requests for JSON endpoints, form-encoded exchanges, and binary uploads. Leverage the dependency's request-building helpers rather than crafting raw HTTP requests manually.

Capabilities

JSON discussion creation

• Building a request for creating a discussion post uses the API base URL, includes owner/repo path, and JSON encodes title and body fields. @test
• The request sets GitHub API version and preview Accept headers when provided. @test

Form token exchange

• Building a request for exchanging an OAuth code sends client_id, client_secret, code, and redirect_uri as form-encoded fields (including optional state) with a JSON response expected. @test

Release asset upload

• Building an upload request targets the upload base URL with name and optional label query parameters, uses the provided media type, and streams the provided reader with the declared size. @test
• The upload request does not reuse the API host when an upload URL is provided. @test
