Commands

help

The help command prints information about each command in graphsh, or can be provided a command name for help for a specific command.

Path traversal

Since Graphsh represents nested fields as something akin to directories, use the path traversal syntax to set your current path, relative to the current path.

› .repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")
› .owner
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").owner

You can use .. to traverse upwards:

› .repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").owner
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").owner
› ..
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")
› .owner.repositories
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").owner.repositories
› ../..
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")

on

The on {ConcreteType} command applies a concrete type to your current query. Passing no concrete type removes one.

› .repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").object(expression: "HEAD")
› pq
query {
  repository( name: "graphsh", owner: "jclem") {
    object(expression: "HEAD") {

    }
  }
}
› on Commit
› pq
query {
  repository( name: "graphsh", owner: "jclem") {
    object(expression: "HEAD") {
      ... on Commit {

      }
    }
  }
}
› on
› pq
query {
  repository( name: "graphsh", owner: "jclem") {
    object(expression: "HEAD") {

    }
  }
}

pp

The pp command shows your present path.

› .repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")
› .owner
› pp
.query.repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").owner

pq

The pq command shows the current state of your query, which is a reflection of your present path.

› .repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh").owner
› pq
query {
  repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh") {
    owner {

    }
  }
}

ls

The ls command shows information about each field on the current node.

› .meta
› ls
gitHubServicesSha                  Returns a String that's a SHA of `github-services`
gitIpAddresses                     IP addresses that users connect to for git operations
hookIpAddresses                    IP addresses that service hooks are sent from
importerIpAddresses                IP addresses that the importer connects from
isPasswordAuthenticationVerifiable Whether or not users are verified
pagesIpAddresses                   IP addresses for GitHub Pages' A records

Querying

In order to query, use an expression surrounded by brackets.

› .repository(owner: "jclem", name: "graphsh")
› {name, owner {login}}
{
  "data": {
    "repository": {
      "name": "graphsh",
      "owner": {
        "login": "jclem"
      }
    }
  }
}
