This version of GitHub Enterprise was discontinued on 2021-06-09. No patch releases will be made, even for critical security issues. For better performance, improved security, and new features, upgrade to the latest version of GitHub Enterprise. For help with the upgrade, contact GitHub Enterprise support.

Pulls

The Pulls API allows you to list, view, edit, create, and even merge pull requests.

The Pull Request API allows you to list, view, edit, create, and even merge pull requests. Comments on pull requests can be managed via the Issue Comments API.

Every pull request is an issue, but not every issue is a pull request. For this reason, "shared" actions for both features, like manipulating assignees, labels and milestones, are provided within the Issues API.

Custom media types for pull requests

These are the supported media types for pull requests.

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.text+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.full+json
application/vnd.github.VERSION.diff
application/vnd.github.VERSION.patch

For more information, see "Custom media types."

If a diff is corrupt, contact your site administrator. Include the repository name and pull request ID in your message.

Preview notice

You can now use the REST API to add a reason when you lock an issue, and you will see lock reasons in responses that include issues or pull requests. You will also see lock reasons in locked events. This feature is currently available for developers to preview. See the blog post for full details. To access this feature, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.sailor-v-preview+json

Create a pull request

Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team, GitHub Enterprise Server 2.17+, and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. You can create a new pull request. This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in secondary rate limiting. See "Secondary rate limits" for details.

Notes

Preview notice

You can now use the REST API to add a reason when you lock an issue, and you will see lock reasons in responses that include issues or pull requests. You will also see lock reasons in locked events. This feature is currently available for developers to preview. See the blog post for full details. To access this feature, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.sailor-v-preview+json

Get a pull request

Draft pull requests are available in public repositories with GitHub Free and GitHub Free for organizations, GitHub Pro, and legacy per-repository billing plans, and in public and private repositories with GitHub Team and GitHub Enterprise Cloud. For more information, see GitHub's products in the GitHub Help documentation.

Lists details of a pull request by providing its number.

When you get, create, or edit a pull request, GitHub Enterprise Server creates a merge commit to test whether the pull request can be automatically merged into the base branch. This test commit is not added to the base branch or the head branch. You can review the status of the test commit using the mergeable key. For more information, see "Checking mergeability of pull requests".

The value of the mergeable attribute can be true, false, or null. If the value is null, then GitHub Enterprise Server has started a background job to compute the mergeability. After giving the job time to complete, resubmit the request. When the job finishes, you will see a non-null value for the mergeable attribute in the response. If mergeable is true, then merge_commit_sha will be the SHA of the test merge commit.

The value of the merge_commit_sha attribute changes depending on the state of the pull request. Before merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha attribute holds the SHA of the test merge commit. After merging a pull request, the merge_commit_sha attribute changes depending on how you merged the pull request:

  • If merged as a merge commit, merge_commit_sha represents the SHA of the merge commit.
  • If merged via a squash, merge_commit_sha represents the SHA of the squashed commit on the base branch.
  • If rebased, merge_commit_sha represents the commit that the base branch was updated to.

Pass the appropriate media type to fetch diff and patch formats.

get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}

Parameters

Name Type In Description

Notes


Create a review for a pull request

This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in secondary rate limiting. See "Secondary rate limits" and "Dealing with secondary rate limits" for details.

Pull request reviews created in the PENDING state do not include the submitted_at property in the response.

Note: To comment on a specific line in a file, you need to first determine the position of that line in the diff. The GitHub REST API v3 offers the application/vnd.github.v3.diff media type. To see a pull request diff, add this media type to the Accept header of a call to the single pull request endpoint.

The position value equals the number of lines down from the first "@@" hunk header in the file you want to add a comment. The line just below the "@@" line is position 1, the next line is position 2, and so on. The position in the diff continues to increase through lines of whitespace and additional hunks until the beginning of a new file.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/reviews

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.

owner string path
repo string path
pull_number integer path
commit_id string body

The SHA of the commit that needs a review. Not using the latest commit SHA may render your review comment outdated if a subsequent commit modifies the line you specify as the position. Defaults to the most recent commit in the pull request when you do not specify a value.

body string body

Required when using REQUEST_CHANGES or COMMENT for the event parameter. The body text of the pull request review.

event string body

The review action you want to perform. The review actions include: APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, or COMMENT. By leaving this blank, you set the review action state to PENDING, which means you will need to submit the pull request review when you are ready.

comments array of objects body

Use the following table to specify the location, destination, and contents of the draft review comment.

Properties of the comments items
path (string)

Required. The relative path to the file that necessitates a review comment.

position (integer)

The position in the diff where you want to add a review comment. Note this value is not the same as the line number in the file. For help finding the position value, read the note below.

body (string)

Required. Text of the review comment.

line (integer)
side (string)
start_line (integer)
start_side (string)

Create a review comment for a pull request

Creates a review comment in the pull request diff. To add a regular comment to a pull request timeline, see "Create an issue comment." We recommend creating a review comment using line, side, and optionally start_line and start_side if your comment applies to more than one line in the pull request diff.

You can still create a review comment using the position parameter. When you use position, the line, side, start_line, and start_side parameters are not required. For more information, see the comfort-fade preview notice.

Note: The position value equals the number of lines down from the first "@@" hunk header in the file you want to add a comment. The line just below the "@@" line is position 1, the next line is position 2, and so on. The position in the diff continues to increase through lines of whitespace and additional hunks until the beginning of a new file.

This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in secondary rate limiting. See "Secondary rate limits" and "Dealing with secondary rate limits" for details.

post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/pulls/{pull_number}/comments

Parameters

Name Type In Description
accept string header

Setting to application/vnd.github.v3+json is recommended.See preview notice

owner string path
repo string path
pull_number integer path
body string body

Required. The text of the review comment.

commit_id string body

The SHA of the commit needing a comment. Not using the latest commit SHA may render your comment outdated if a subsequent commit modifies the line you specify as the position.

path string body

The relative path to the file that necessitates a comment.

position integer body

Required without comfort-fade preview. The position in the diff where you want to add a review comment. Note this value is not the same as the line number in the file. For help finding the position value, read the note above.

side string body

Required with comfort-fade preview. In a split diff view, the side of the diff that the pull request's changes appear on. Can be LEFT or RIGHT. Use LEFT for deletions that appear in red. Use RIGHT for additions that appear in green or unchanged lines that appear in white and are shown for context. For a multi-line comment, side represents whether the last line of the comment range is a deletion or addition. For more information, see "Diff view options" in the GitHub Help documentation.

line integer body

Required with comfort-fade preview. The line of the blob in the pull request diff that the comment applies to. For a multi-line comment, the last line of the range that your comment applies to.

start_line integer body

Required when using multi-line comments. To create multi-line comments, you must use the comfort-fade preview header. The start_line is the first line in the pull request diff that your multi-line comment applies to. To learn more about multi-line comments, see "Commenting on a pull request" in the GitHub Help documentation.

start_side string body

Required when using multi-line comments. To create multi-line comments, you must use the comfort-fade preview header. The start_side is the starting side of the diff that the comment applies to. Can be LEFT or RIGHT. To learn more about multi-line comments, see "Commenting on a pull request" in the GitHub Help documentation. See side in this table for additional context.

in_reply_to integer body

Notes

Preview notice

Multi-line comments in a pull request diff is currently available for developers to preview. During the preview period, these response fields may change without advance notice. See the blog post for more information.

To create multi-line comments or see multi-line comments with the new supported fields during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept header:

application/vnd.github.comfort-fade-preview+json

To show multi-line comment-supported fields in the response, use the comfort-fade preview header and the line parameter.

If you use the comfort-fade preview header, your response will show:

  • For multi-line comments, values for start_line, original_start_line, start_side, line, original_line, and side.
  • For single-line comments, values for line, original_line, and side and a null value for start_line, original_start_line, and start_side.

If you don't use the comfort-fade preview header, multi-line and single-line comments will appear the same way in the response with a single position attribute. Your response will show:

  • For multi-line comments, the last line of the comment range for the position attribute.
  • For single-line comments, the diff-positioned way of referencing comments for the position attribute.

Create a reply for a review comment

Creates a reply to a review comment for a pull request. For the comment_id, provide the ID of the review comment you are replying to. This must be the ID of a top-level review comment, not a reply to that comment. Replies to replies are not supported.

This endpoint triggers notifications. Creating content too quickly using this endpoint may result in secondary rate limiting. See "Secondary rate limits" and "Dealing with secondary rate limits" for details.
