using a string query.

```python  theme={null}
from prefect import flow
from prefect_github import GitHubCredentials
from prefect_github.graphql import execute_graphql

@flow()
def example_execute_graphql_flow():
    op = '''
        query GitHubRepoIssues($owner: String!, $name: String!) {
            repository(owner: $owner, name: $name) {
                issues(last: 3) {
                    nodes {
                        number
                        title

                }
            }
        }
    '''
    token = "ghp_..."
    github_credentials = GitHubCredentials(token=token)
    params = dict(owner="PrefectHQ", name="Prefect")
    result = execute_graphql(op, github_credentials, **params)
    return result

example_execute_graphql_flow()
```

Queries the first three issues from Prefect repository

from prefect import flow
from sgqlc.operation import Operation
from prefect_github import GitHubCredentials
from prefect_github.schemas import graphql_schema
from prefect_github.graphql import execute_graphql

@flow()
def example_execute_graphql_flow():
    op = Operation(graphql_schema.Query)
    op_settings = op.repository(
        owner="PrefectHQ", name="Prefect"
    ).issues(
        first=3
    ).nodes()
    op_settings.__fields__("id", "title")
    token = "ghp_..."
    github_credentials = GitHubCredentials(token=token)
    result = execute_graphql(
        op,
        github_credentials,
    )
    return result
