Problem/Motivation
I was attempting to installing this module in my local environment using PHP8 for a client whose Drupal 9 site is hosted on a platform that no longer supports PHP 7.
I was unable to get composer to find an installable set of packages using composer require drupal/config_pr:^1.0 -W.
Here's what I got for output:
[03/9/23 3:35:38] > composer require 'drupal/config_pr:^1.0' -W
./composer.json has been updated
Running composer update drupal/config_pr --with-all-dependencies

Updating dependencies
Your requirements could not be resolved to an installable set of packages.
Problem 1
- drupal/config_pr 1.x-dev is an alias of drupal/config_pr dev-1.x and thus requires it to be installed too.
- drupal/config_pr[dev-1.x, 1.0.0-alpha1, ..., 1.0.0] require knplabs/github-api ^2.10 -> satisfiable by knplabs/github-api[2.10.0, ..., 2.x-dev].
- knplabs/github-api[2.12.0, ..., 2.x-dev] require php ^7.1 -> your php version (8.0; overridden via config.platform, actual: 8.0.26) does not satisfy that requirement.
- knplabs/github-api[2.10.0, ..., 2.11.0] require php ^5.6 || ^7.0 -> your php version (8.0; overridden via config.platform, actual: 8.0.26) does not satisfy that requirement.
- Root composer.json requires drupal/config_pr ^1.0 -> satisfiable by drupal/config_pr[1.0.0-alpha1, ..., 1.x-dev (alias of dev-1.x)].
Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json and ./composer.lock to their original content.
It looks like there is a closed issue for how to install that github API package with PHP 8.0 support: https://github.com/KnpLabs/php-github-api/issues/1050
I'm curious if there is a plan to integrate this into the module?
Thanks!
Steps to reproduce
Attempt to install the module using composer in a Drupal 9 site on an env running PHP 8+.
Proposed resolution
Support a version of the github API so that this module can be installed in sites running on PHP 8+.
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
Data model changes
