# Github

Portkey provides a robust and secure gateway to facilitate the integration of various Large Language Models (LLMs) into your applications, including the models hosted on [Github Models Marketplace](https://github.com/marketplace/models).

<Note>
  Provider Slug: `github`
</Note>

## Portkey SDK Integration with Github Models

Portkey provides a consistent API to interact with models from various providers. To integrate Github Models with Portkey:

### 1. Install the Portkey SDK

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS">
    ```sh theme={null}
    npm install --save portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python">
    ```sh theme={null}
    pip install -U portkey-ai
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 2. Initialize Portkey with Github Models

To use Github with Portkey, get your API key [from here](https://github.com/settings/tokens), then add it to Portkey to create the virtual key.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={null}
    import Portkey from 'portkey-ai'

    const portkey = new Portkey({
        apiKey: "PORTKEY_API_KEY", // defaults to process.env["PORTKEY_API_KEY"]
        virtualKey: "GITHUB_VIRTUAL_KEY" // Your Github Models virtual key
    })
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```py theme={null}
    from portkey_ai import Portkey

    portkey = Portkey(
        api_key ="PORTKEY_API_KEY",  # Replace with your Portkey API key
        virtual_key="GITHUB_VIRTUAL_KEY" # Your Github Models virtual key
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### 3. Invoke Chat Completions

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="NodeJS SDK">
    ```js theme={null}
    const chatCompletion = await portkey.chat.completions.create({
        messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'Say this is a test' }],
        model: 'Phi-3-small-128k-instruct',
    });

    console.log(chatCompletion.choices);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Python SDK">
    ```python theme={null}
    completion = portkey.chat.completions.create(
        messages= [{ "role": 'user', "content": 'Say this is a test' }],
        model= 'Phi-3-small-128k-instruct'
    )

    print(completion)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>
