Pithub::GitData::References - Github v3 Git Data References API
version 0.01015
Create a Reference
POST /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs
Parameters:
user: mandatory string
repo: mandatory string
data: mandatory hashref, having following keys:
ref: mandatory string of the name of the fully qualified reference (ie: refs/heads/master). If it doesn't start with 'refs' and have at least two slashes, it will be rejected.
sha: mandatory string of the SHA1 value to set this reference to.
Examples:
my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new; my $result = $r->create( user => 'plu', repo => 'Pithub', data => { ref => 'refs/heads/master', sha => '827efc6d56897b048c772eb4087f854f46256132' . } );
Get a Reference
GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs/:ref
ref: mandatory string
The key ref must be formatted as heads/branch, not just branch. For example, the call to get the data for a branch named sc/featureA would be: heads/sc/featureA
heads/branch
branch
sc/featureA
heads/sc/featureA
my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new; my $result = $r->get( user => 'plu', repo => 'Pithub', ref => 'heads/master' );
Response: Status: 200 OK
{ "ref": "refs/heads/sc/featureA", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/refs/heads/sc/featureA", "object": { "type": "commit", "sha": "aa218f56b14c9653891f9e74264a383fa43fefbd", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/commits/aa218f56b14c9653891f9e74264a383fa43fefbd" } }
Get all References
GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs
This will return an array of all the references on the system, including things like notes and stashes if they exist on the server. Anything in the namespace, not just heads and tags, though that would be the most common.
my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new; my $result = $r->list( user => 'plu', repo => 'Pithub', );
You can also request a sub-namespace. For example, to get all the tag references, you can call:
GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs/tags
my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new; my $result = $r->list( user => 'plu', repo => 'Pithub', ref => 'tags', );
[ { "object": { "type": "commit", "sha": "1c5230f42d6d3e376162591f223fc4130d671937", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/plu/Pithub/git/commits/1c5230f42d6d3e376162591f223fc4130d671937" }, "ref": "refs/tags/v0.01000", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/plu/Pithub/git/refs/tags/v0.01000" }, { "object": { "type": "tag", "sha": "ef328a0679a992bd2c0ac537cf19d379f1c8d177", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/plu/Pithub/git/tags/ef328a0679a992bd2c0ac537cf19d379f1c8d177" }, "ref": "refs/tags/v0.01001", "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/plu/Pithub/git/refs/tags/v0.01001" } ]
Update a Reference
PATCH /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs/:ref
force: optional boolean indicating whether to force the update or to make sure the update is a fast-forward update. The default is false so leaving this out or setting it to false will make sure you're not overwriting work.
false
my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new; my $result = $r->update( user => 'plu', repo => 'Pithub', ref => 'tags/v1.0', data => { force => 1, sha => 'aa218f56b14c9653891f9e74264a383fa43fefbd', } );
