curl

This thing is awesome. Writing down here to note the syntax of how to send a JSON request to a REST API:

curl -u bhipple:$TOKEN -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH -d '{"location":"cmdline"}' "https://api.github.com/user"

Changes the location of the user to "cmdline" using this API.

Some useful REST endpoints on the GitHub API:

Click the merge button:
