GitHub REST API API Deprecation Guide
Developers integrating with GitHub for automation, CI/CD, project management, and data access.
GitHub's REST API uses date-based versioning for breaking changes, meaning changes can be introduced without strict adherence to semantic versioning. While they provide release notes, developers must actively monitor announcements.
