You can use jcabi-github (I'm one of its developers):

Github github = new RtGithub("user", "password");

Now you have a client that can help you to manipulate Github entities, for example you can list all issues in a given repository:

Coordinates coords = new Coordinates.Simple("jcabi/jcabi-github");
Repo repo = github.repos().get(coords);
for (Issue issue : repo.issues().iterate(Collections.<String, String>emptyMap())) {
  System.out.println("Issue found: #" + issue.number());
}

You may connect to the GitHub API using a standalone application or a web application.

You will need to first register your application with GitHub to obtain your credentials which are used to login when accessing the API. This can be done by creating an application within your user profile on GitHub.

Once you have your credentials I would recommend using an existing library to access the API. I have successfully used the GitHub Java API.

If you want to see an example of how to login with the API see the source code for my blog here.
