To get GitHub Data into Salesforce portal.

2) Create new External data source with name GitHub_Repos .


3) Create a Github tab like this:


4) Create Apex Classes and paste the below code on your developer console.

GitHubProvider.cls :-

global with sharing class GitHubProvider extends DataSource.Provider{
    override global List<DataSource.Capability> getCapabilities() {
        List<DataSource.Capability> capabilities = new List<DataSource.Capability>();
        capabilities.add(DataSource.Capability.ROW_QUERY);
        return capabilities;
    }
   
    override global List<DataSource.AuthenticationCapability> getAuthenticationCapabilities() {
        List<DataSource.AuthenticationCapability> capabilities =
                            new List<DataSource.AuthenticationCapability>();
        capabilities.add(DataSource.AuthenticationCapability.ANONYMOUS);
        return capabilities;
    }
   
    override global DataSource.Connection getConnection(DataSource.ConnectionParams connectionsParams) {
        return new GitHubConnection();
    }
}

GitHubConnection.cls :-

global with sharing class GitHubConnection extends DataSource.Connection{
    override global List<DataSource.Table> sync() {
        List<DataSource.Column> gitHubRepoColumns = new List<DataSource.Column>();
        gitHubRepoColumns.add(DataSource.Column.text('ExternalId', 255));
        gitHubRepoColumns.add(DataSource.Column.url('DisplayUrl'));
        gitHubRepoColumns.add(DataSource.Column.text('Name', 128));
        gitHubRepoColumns.add(DataSource.Column.text('Description', 1024));
        gitHubRepoColumns.add(DataSource.Column.number('Stars', 16, 0));
       
        List<DataSource.Table> tables = new List<DataSource.Table>();
        tables.add(DataSource.Table.get('GitHub Repos', 'Name', gitHubRepoColumns));
        return tables;
    }
   
    override global DataSource.TableResult query(DataSource.QueryContext queryContext) {
        List<Map<String, Object>> repos =
            DataSource.QueryUtils.process(queryContext, getOrgRepos('<USERNAME>'));
        DataSource.TableResult tableResult = DataSource.TableResult.get(queryContext, repos);
        return tableResult;
    }
   
    override global List<DataSource.TableResult> search(DataSource.SearchContext searchContext) {
        return DataSource.SearchUtils.searchByName(searchContext, this);
    }
   
    public List<Map<String, Object>> getOrgRepos(String org) {
        Http httpProtocol = new Http();
        HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
        String url = 'https://api.github.com/orgs/' + org + '/repos?per_page=1000';
        request.setEndPoint(url);
        request.setMethod('GET');
        HttpResponse response = httpProtocol.send(request);
       
        List<Map<String, Object>> repos = new List<Map<String, Object>>();
       
        for (Object item : (List<Object>)JSON.deserializeUntyped(response.getBody())) {
            Map<String, Object> repo = (Map<String, Object>)item;
            repo.put('ExternalId', repo.get('id'));
            repo.put('DisplayUrl', repo.get('html_url'));
            repo.put('Name', repo.get('name'));
            repo.put('Description', repo.get('description'));
            repo.put('Stars', repo.get('stargazers_count'));
            repos.add(repo);
        }
       
        return repos;
    }
}

5) Go to App launcher and search for GitHub Repos.
It will automatically brings all the files which are in the query.
6) To Create new Branch from the Parent/Main branch. You have to just call the Api.

postGitHub.cls :-

public with sharing class postGitHub {
    public static String postGit(){
        try {
            String json = '{ "ref": "refs/heads/Username", "sha": "SHA" }'; // you have to put your head.
            Http http = new Http();
            HttpRequest request = new HttpRequest();
           //you have to put the endpoint of your repository.            
            request.setEndPoint('https://api.github.com/repos/<USERNAME>/<REPO>/git/refs');
            request.setMethod('POST');
            request.setHeader('Authorization',"Token " + 'YOUR_TOKEN_HERE');
            //
            request.setBody(json);
            HttpResponse response = new HttpResponse();
            response = http.send(request);
            System.debug(response.getStatusCode());
            System.debug(response);

        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.debug(e.getMessage());
        }
        return 'success';

    }
}

After that you can check a new branch is created into your github portal.

Sharing records by Apex in Salesforce

  Greetings, everyone! In today's session, we'll delve into the topic of sharing records within an Apex class. As we're aware, there exist various methods through which we can accomplish the sharing of records. We engage in record sharing primarily when the object's Organization Wide Default (OWD) settings are set to private. Sharing settings come into play when certain predefined criteria are met, allowing us to extend access to records to designated groups or roles. In cases where intricate logic is involved, manual sharing is employed. While this approach proves beneficial for specific records, instances where a multitude of records require automated handling, Apex sharing becomes the preferred solution. Salesforce offers a 'Share' object for each type of object, with distinct naming conventions: For standard objects, it's 'StandardobjectName+Share', such as 'AccountShare' for the 'Account' object. Custom objects follow the pattern...

Capture Real time data using CDC(Change Data Capture) in Salesforce | SF Fact #05

Change Data Capture (CDC) enables receiving near-real-time updates for Salesforce records and synchronizing them with an external data store. CDC publishes change events that reflect modifications to Salesforce records, including new records, updates, deletions, and undeletions. These events can be subscribed to in a Lightning Web Component (LWC) using the Emp API. To meet the business requirement of creating a task whenever a user manually changes an opportunity's status to "Closed Won," use CDC events and a generic LWC on the opportunity record page. This solution avoids the need for Apex triggers or record-triggered flows. How to enable CDC? Go to setup Search Change Data Capture Add Entities The  lightning/empApi  module provides access to methods for subscribing to a streaming channel and listening to event messages. All streaming channels are supported, including channels for platform events, PushTopic events, generic events, and Change Data Capture events. This co...
