How to connect to github repository using java and github api

Question

I need to create remote Github repository using java (Using my credentials) and I need to push .Json file to that repo.

I saw some examples using JGit and some other references like http://www.codeaffine.com/2015/11/30/jgit-clone-repository/

I've written small code

GitHubClient client = new GitHubClient(); 
client.setCredentials("username", "password"); 
RepositoryService service = new RepositoryService(client); 
Repository repo=new Repository(); repo.setName("newRepo"); 
service.createRepository(repo); 

It isn't working

Please help me with a working example. That would be really helpful.

You will find working examples in centic9/jgit-cookbook , regarding:

• Repository repository = createNewRepository();
• git push (which can push any file you have added/commit, JSON or not)
