You can set the visibility of a repository using the new visibility
parameter in the Repositories API, and get a repository's visibility with a new response key. For more information, see the blog post.
To access repository visibility during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.nebula-preview+json
The is_template
and template_repository
keys are currently available for developer to preview. See Create a repository using a template to learn how to create template repositories. To access these new response keys during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.baptiste-preview+json
Delete a repository
Deleting a repository requires admin access. If OAuth is used, the delete_repo
scope is required.
If an organization owner has configured the organization to prevent members from deleting organization-owned
repositories, you will get a 403 Forbidden
response.

Notes
List repository contributors
Lists contributors to the specified repository and sorts them by the number of commits per contributor in descending order. This endpoint may return information that is a few hours old because the GitHub REST API v3 caches contributor data to improve performance.
GitHub identifies contributors by author email address. This endpoint groups contribution counts by GitHub user, which includes all associated email addresses. To improve performance, only the first 500 author email addresses in the repository link to GitHub users. The rest will appear as anonymous contributors without associated GitHub user information.

Notes
Create a repository dispatch event
You can use this endpoint to trigger a webhook event called repository_dispatch
when you want activity that happens outside of GitHub Enterprise Server to trigger a GitHub Actions workflow or GitHub App webhook. You must configure your GitHub Actions workflow or GitHub App to run when the repository_dispatch
event occurs. For an example repository_dispatch
webhook payload, see "RepositoryDispatchEvent."
The client_payload
parameter is available for any extra information that your workflow might need. This parameter is a JSON payload that will be passed on when the webhook event is dispatched. For example, the client_payload
can include a message that a user would like to send using a GitHub Actions workflow. Or the client_payload
can be used as a test to debug your workflow.
This endpoint requires write access to the repository by providing either:
- Personal access tokens with
repo
scope. For more information, see "Creating a personal access token for the command line" in the GitHub Help documentation. - GitHub Apps with both
metadata:read
andcontents:read&write
permissions.
This input example shows how you can use the client_payload
as a test to debug your workflow.

Preview header missing
Status: 415 Unsupported Media Type
Notes
Preview notice
Listing branches or pull requests for a commit in the Commits API is currently available for developers to preview. See the blog post for more details. To access the new endpoints during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.groot-preview+json
☝️This header is required.Get a commit
Returns the contents of a single commit reference. You must have read
access for the repository to use this endpoint.
Note: If there are more than 300 files in the commit diff, the response will include pagination link headers for the remaining files, up to a limit of 3000 files. Each page contains the static commit information, and the only changes are to the file listing.
You can pass the appropriate media type to fetch diff
and patch
formats. Diffs with binary data will have no patch
property.
To return only the SHA-1 hash of the commit reference, you can provide the sha
custom media type in the Accept
header. You can use this endpoint to check if a remote reference's SHA-1 hash is the same as your local reference's SHA-1 hash by providing the local SHA-1 reference as the ETag.
Signature verification object
The response will include a verification
object that describes the result of verifying the commit's signature. The following fields are included in the verification
object:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
verified | boolean | Indicates whether GitHub considers the signature in this commit to be verified. |
reason | string | The reason for verified value. Possible values and their meanings are enumerated in table below. |
signature | string | The signature that was extracted from the commit. |
payload | string | The value that was signed. |
These are the possible values for reason
in the verification
object:
Value | Description |
---|---|
expired_key | The key that made the signature is expired. |

Notes
Compare two commits
The basehead
param is comprised of two parts: base
and head
. Both must be branch names in repo
. To compare branches across other repositories in the same network as repo
, use the format <USERNAME>:branch
.
The response from the API is equivalent to running the git log base..head
command; however, commits are returned in chronological order. Pass the appropriate media type to fetch diff and patch formats.
The response also includes details on the files that were changed between the two commits. This includes the status of the change (for example, if a file was added, removed, modified, or renamed), and details of the change itself. For example, files with a renamed
status have a previous_filename
field showing the previous filename of the file, and files with a modified
status have a patch
field showing the changes made to the file.
Working with large comparisons
The response will include a comparison of up to 250 commits. If you are working with a larger commit range, you can use the List commits to enumerate all commits in the range.
For comparisons with extremely large diffs, you may receive an error response indicating that the diff took too long to generate. You can typically resolve this error by using a smaller commit range.
Signature verification object
The response will include a verification
object that describes the result of verifying the commit's signature. The following fields are included in the verification
object:
Name | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
verified | boolean | Indicates whether GitHub considers the signature in this commit to be verified. |
reason | string | The reason for verified value. Possible values and their meanings are enumerated in table below. |
signature | string | The signature that was extracted from the commit. |
payload | string | The value that was signed. |
These are the possible values for reason
in the verification
object:
Value | Description |
---|---|
expired_key | The key that made the signature is expired. |
not_signing_key | The "signing" flag is not among the usage flags in the GPG key that made the signature. |
gpgverify_error | There was an error communicating with the signature verification service. |
gpgverify_unavailable | The signature verification service is currently unavailable. |
unsigned | The object does not include a signature. |
unknown_signature_type | A non-PGP signature was found in the commit. |
no_user | No user was associated with the committer email address in the commit. |
unverified_email | The committer email address in the commit was associated with a user, but the email address is not verified on her/his account. |
bad_email | The committer email address in the commit is not included in the identities of the PGP key that made the signature. |
unknown_key | The key that made the signature has not been registered with any user's account. |
malformed_signature | There was an error parsing the signature. |
invalid | The signature could not be cryptographically verified using the key whose key-id was found in the signature. |
valid | None of the above errors applied, so the signature is considered to be verified. |

Notes
Contents
These API endpoints let you create, modify, and delete Base64 encoded content in a repository. To request the raw format or rendered HTML (when supported), use custom media types for repository contents.
Custom media types for repository contents
READMEs, files, and symlinks support the following custom media types:
application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html
Use the .raw
media type to retrieve the contents of the file.
For markup files such as Markdown or AsciiDoc, you can retrieve the rendered HTML using the .html
media type. Markup languages are rendered to HTML using our open-source Markup library.
All objects support the following custom media type:
application/vnd.github.VERSION.object
Use the object
media type parameter to retrieve the contents in a consistent object format regardless of the content type. For example, instead of an array of objects for a directory, the response will be an object with an entries
attribute containing the array of objects.
You can read more about the use of media types in the API here.
Get repository content
Gets the contents of a file or directory in a repository. Specify the file path or directory in :path
. If you omit
:path
, you will receive the contents of the repository's root directory. See the description below regarding what the API response includes for directories.
Files and symlinks support a custom media type for retrieving the raw content or rendered HTML (when supported). All content types support a custom media type to ensure the content is returned in a consistent object format.
Note:
- To get a repository's contents recursively, you can recursively get the tree.
- This API has an upper limit of 1,000 files for a directory. If you need to retrieve more files, use the Git Trees API.
- This API supports files up to 1 megabyte in size.
If the content is a directory
The response will be an array of objects, one object for each item in the directory. When listing the contents of a directory, submodules have their "type" specified as "file". Logically, the value should be "submodule". This behavior exists in API v3 for backwards compatibility purposes. In the next major version of the API, the type will be returned as "submodule".
If the content is a symlink
If the requested :path
points to a symlink, and the symlink's target is a normal file in the repository, then the
API responds with the content of the file (in the format shown in the example. Otherwise, the API responds with an object
describing the symlink itself.
If the content is a submodule
The submodule_git_url
identifies the location of the submodule repository, and the sha
identifies a specific
commit within the submodule repository. Git uses the given URL when cloning the submodule repository, and checks out
the submodule at that specific commit.
If the submodule repository is not hosted on github.com, the Git URLs (git_url
and _links["git"]
) and the
github.com URLs (html_url
and _links["html"]
) will have null values.

Deployment-Schlüssel
You can launch projects from a GitHub Enterprise Server repository to your server by using a deploy key, which is an SSH key that grants access to a single repository. GitHub Enterprise Server attaches the public part of the key directly to your repository instead of a personal user account, and the private part of the key remains on your server. For more information, see "Delivering deployments."
Deploy keys can either be setup using the following API endpoints, or by using GitHub. To learn how to set deploy keys up in GitHub, see "Managing deploy keys."

Notes
Bereitstellungen
Deployments are requests to deploy a specific ref (branch, SHA, tag). GitHub dispatches a deployment
event that external services can listen for and act on when new deployments are created. Deployments enable developers and organizations to build loosely coupled tooling around deployments, without having to worry about the implementation details of delivering different types of applications (e.g., web, native).
Deployment statuses allow external services to mark deployments with an error
, failure
, pending
, in_progress
, queued
, or success
state that systems listening to deployment_status
events can consume.
Deployment statuses can also include an optional description
and log_url
, which are highly recommended because they make deployment statuses more useful. The log_url
is the full URL to the deployment output, and the description
is a high-level summary of what happened with the deployment.
GitHub dispatches deployment
and deployment_status
events when new deployments and deployment statuses are created. These events allows third-party integrations to receive respond to deployment requests and update the status of a deployment as progress is made.
Below is a simple sequence diagram for how these interactions would work.
+---------+ +--------+ +-----------+ +-------------+
| Tooling | | GitHub | | 3rd Party | | Your Server |
+---------+ +--------+ +-----------+ +-------------+
| | | |
| Create Deployment | | |
|--------------------->| | |
| | | |
| Deployment Created | | |
|<---------------------| | |
| | | |
| | Deployment Event | |
| |---------------------->| |
| | | SSH+Deploys |
| | |-------------------->|
| | | |
| | Deployment Status | |
| |<----------------------| |
| | | |
| | | Deploy Completed |
| | |<--------------------|
| | | |
| | Deployment Status | |
| |<----------------------| |
| | | |
Keep in mind that GitHub is never actually accessing your servers. It's up to your third-party integration to interact with deployment events. Multiple systems can listen for deployment events, and it's up to each of those systems to decide whether they're responsible for pushing the code out to your servers, building native code, etc.
Note that the repo_deployment
OAuth scope grants targeted access to deployments and deployment statuses without granting access to repository code, while the public_repo
andrepo
scopes grant permission to code as well.
Inactive deployments
When you set the state of a deployment to success
, then all prior non-transient, non-production environment deployments in the same repository to the same environment name will become inactive
. To avoid this, you can set auto_inactive
to false
when creating the deployment status.
You can communicate that a transient environment no longer exists by setting its state
to inactive
. Setting the state
to inactive
shows the deployment as destroyed
in GitHub and removes access to it.
List deployments
Simple filtering of deployments is available via query parameters:
get /repos/{owner}/{repo}/deployments

---|---|---|---|

Notes
Preview notice
The inactive
state and the log_url
, environment_url
, and auto_inactive
parameters are currently available for developers to preview. Please see the blog post for full details.
To access the API during the preview period, you must provide a custom media type in the Accept
header:
application/vnd.github.ant-man-preview+json
Create a deployment
Deployments offer a few configurable parameters with certain defaults.
The ref
parameter can be any named branch, tag, or SHA. At GitHub Enterprise Server we often deploy branches and verify them
before we merge a pull request.
The environment
parameter allows deployments to be issued to different runtime environments. Teams often have
multiple environments for verifying their applications, such as production
, staging
, and qa
. This parameter
makes it easier to track which environments have requested deployments. The default environment is production
.
The auto_merge
parameter is used to ensure that the requested ref is not behind the repository's default branch. If
the ref is behind the default branch for the repository, we will attempt to merge it for you. If the merge succeeds,
the API will return a successful merge commit. If merge conflicts prevent the merge from succeeding, the API will
return a failure response.
By default, commit statuses for every submitted context must be in a success
state. The required_contexts
parameter allows you to specify a subset of contexts that must be success
, or to
specify contexts that have not yet been submitted. You are not required to use commit statuses to deploy. If you do
not require any contexts or create any commit statuses, the deployment will always succeed.
The payload
parameter is available for any extra information that a deployment system might need. It is a JSON text
field that will be passed on when a deployment event is dispatched.
The task
parameter is used by the deployment system to allow different execution paths. In the web world this might
be deploy:migrations
to run schema changes on the system. In the compiled world this could be a flag to compile an
application with debugging enabled.
Users with repo
or repo_deployment
scopes can create a deployment for a given ref.
Merged branch response
You will see this response when GitHub automatically merges the base branch into the topic branch instead of creating a deployment. This auto-merge happens when:
- Auto-merge option is enabled in the repository
- Topic branch does not include the latest changes on the base branch, which is
master
in the response example - There are no merge conflicts
If there are no new commits in the base branch, a new request to create a deployment should give a successful response.
Merge conflict response
This error happens when the auto_merge
option is enabled and when the default branch (in this case master
), can't
be merged into the branch that's being deployed (in this case topic-branch
), due to merge conflicts.
Failed commit status checks
This error happens when the required_contexts
parameter indicates that one or more contexts need to have a success
status for the commit to be deployed, but one or more of the required contexts do not have a state of success
.

Notes
Invitations
The Repository Invitations API allows users or external services to invite other users to collaborate on a repo. The invited users (or external services on behalf of invited users) can choose to accept or decline the invitations.
Note that the repo:invite
OAuth scope grants targeted access to invitations without also granting access to repository code, while the repo
scope grants permission to code as well as invitations.
Invite a user to a repository
Use the API endpoint for adding a collaborator. For more information, see "Add a repository collaborator."
List repository invitations
When authenticating as a user with admin rights to a repository, this endpoint will list all currently open repository invitations.

Merging
The Repo Merging API supports merging branches in a repository. This accomplishes essentially the same thing as merging one branch into another in a local repository and then pushing to GitHub Enterprise Server. The benefit is that the merge is done on the server side and a local repository is not needed. This makes it more appropriate for automation and other tools where maintaining local repositories would be cumbersome and inefficient.
The authenticated user will be the author of any merges done through this endpoint.
post /repos/{owner}/{repo}/merges
Parameters
Name | Type | In | Description |
---|---|---|---|
accept |
string | header |
Setting to |
owner |
string | path | |
repo |
string | path | |
base |
string | body |
Required. The name of the base branch that the head will be merged into. |
head |
string | body |
Required. The head to merge. This can be a branch name or a commit SHA1. |
commit_message |
string | body |
Commit message to use for the merge commit. If omitted, a default message will be used. |

Pages
The GitHub Pages API retrieves information about your GitHub Pages configuration, and the statuses of your builds. Information about the site and the builds can only be accessed by authenticated owners, even if the websites are public. Weitere Informationen findest Du unter „Über GitHub Pages."
In GitHub Pages API endpoints with a status
key in their response, the value can be one of:
null
: The site has yet to be built.queued
: The build has been requested but not yet begun.building
:The build is in progress.built
: The site has been built.errored
: Indicates an error occurred during the build.
In GitHub Pages API endpoints that return GitHub Pages site information, the JSON responses include these fields:
html_url
: The absolute URL (including scheme) of the rendered Pages site. For example,https://username.github.io
.source
: An object that contains the source branch and directory for the rendered Pages site. This includes:branch
: The repository branch used to publish your site's source files. For example, main or gh-pages.path
: The repository directory from which the site publishes. Will be either/
or/docs

Notes
Request a GitHub Enterprise Server Pages build
You can request that your site be built from the latest revision on the default branch. This has the same effect as pushing a commit to your default branch, but does not require an additional commit. Manually triggering page builds can be helpful when diagnosing build warnings and failures.
Build requests are limited to one concurrent build per repository and one concurrent build per requester. If you request a build while another is still in progress, the second request will be queued until the first completes.

Veröffentlichungen
Note: The Releases API replaces the Downloads API. You can retrieve the download count and browser download URL from the endpoints in this API that return releases and release assets.
List releases
This returns a list of releases, which does not include regular Git tags that have not been associated with a release. To get a list of Git tags, use the Repository Tags API.
Information about published releases are available to everyone. Only users with push access will receive listings for draft releases.

Notes
Upload a release asset
This endpoint makes use of a Hypermedia relation to determine which URL to access. The endpoint you call to upload release assets is specific to your release. Use the upload_url
returned in
the response of the Create a release endpoint to upload a release asset.
You need to use an HTTP client which supports SNI to make calls to this endpoint.
Most libraries will set the required Content-Length
header automatically. Use the required Content-Type
header to provide the media type of the asset. For a list of media types, see Media Types. For example:
application/zip
GitHub Enterprise Server expects the asset data in its raw binary form, rather than JSON. You will send the raw binary content of the asset as the request body. Everything else about the endpoint is the same as the rest of the API. For example, you'll still need to pass your authentication to be able to upload an asset.
When an upstream failure occurs, you will receive a 502 Bad Gateway
status. This may leave an empty asset with a state of starter
. It can be safely deleted.
Notes:
- GitHub Enterprise Server renames asset filenames that have special characters, non-alphanumeric characters, and leading or trailing periods. The "List assets for a release" endpoint lists the renamed filenames. For more information and help, contact GitHub Enterprise Server Support.
- If you upload an asset with the same filename as another uploaded asset, you'll receive an error and must delete the old file before you can re-upload the new asset.

Notes
Statistics
The Repository Statistics API allows you to fetch the data that GitHub Enterprise Server uses for visualizing different types of repository activity.
A word about caching
Computing repository statistics is an expensive operation, so we try to return cached data whenever possible. If the data hasn't been cached when you query a repository's statistics, you'll receive a 202
response; a background job is also fired to start compiling these statistics. Give the job a few moments to complete, and then submit the request again. If the job has completed, that request will receive a 200
response with the statistics in the response body.
Repository statistics are cached by the SHA of the repository's default branch; pushing to the default branch resets the statistics cache.
Statistics exclude some types of commits
The statistics exposed by the API match the statistics shown by different repository graphs.
To summarize:
- All statistics exclude merge commits.
- Contributor statistics also exclude empty commits.
Get the weekly commit activity
Returns a weekly aggregate of the number of additions and deletions pushed to a repository.

Notes
Status
The status API allows external services to mark commits with an error
, failure
, pending
, or success
state, which is then reflected in pull requests involving those commits.
Statuses can also include an optional description
and target_url
, and we highly recommend providing them as they make statuses much more useful in the GitHub UI.
As an example, one common use is for continuous integration services to mark commits as passing or failing builds using status. The target_url
would be the full URL to the build output, and the description
would be the high level summary of what happened with the build.
Statuses can include a context
to indicate what service is providing that status. For example, you may have your continuous integration service push statuses with a context of ci
, and a security audit tool push statuses with a context of security
. You can then use the Get the combined status for a specific reference to retrieve the whole status for a commit.
Note that the repo:status
OAuth scope grants targeted access to statuses without also granting access to repository code, while the repo
scope grants permission to code as well as statuses.
If you are developing a GitHub App and want to provide more detailed information about an external service, you may want to use the Checks API.
Get the combined status for a specific reference
Users with pull access in a repository can access a combined view of commit statuses for a given ref. The ref can be a SHA, a branch name, or a tag name.
The most recent status for each context is returned, up to 100. This field paginates if there are over 100 contexts.
Additionally, a combined state
is returned. The state
is one of:
- failure if any of the contexts report as
error
orfailure
- pending if there are no statuses or a context is
pending
- success if the latest status for all contexts is
success

Notes
Receiving Webhooks
In order for GitHub Enterprise Server to send webhook payloads, your server needs to be accessible from the Internet. We also highly suggest using SSL so that we can send encrypted payloads over HTTPS.
Webhook headers
GitHub Enterprise Server will send along several HTTP headers to differentiate between event types and payload identifiers. See webhook headers for details.
PubSubHubbub
GitHub can also serve as a PubSubHubbub hub for all repositories. PSHB is a simple publish/subscribe protocol that lets servers register to receive updates when a topic is updated. The updates are sent with an HTTP POST request to a callback URL. Topic URLs for a GitHub repository's pushes are in this format:
https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/events/{event}
The event can be any available webhook event. For more information, see "Webhook events and payloads."
Response format
The default format is what existing post-receive hooks should expect: A JSON body sent as the payload
parameter in a POST. You can also specify to receive the raw JSON body with either an Accept
header, or a .json
extension.
Accept: application/json
https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/events/push.json
Callback URLs
Callback URLs can use the http://
protocol.
# Send updates to postbin.org
http://postbin.org/123
Subscribing
The GitHub PubSubHubbub endpoint is: http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3/hub
. A successful request with curl looks like:
curl -u "user" -i \
http(s)://[hostname]/api/v3/hub \
-F "hub.mode=subscribe" \
-F "hub.topic=https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/events/push" \
-F "hub.callback=http://postbin.org/123"
PubSubHubbub requests can be sent multiple times. If the hook already exists, it will be modified according to the request.
Parameters
Name | Typ | Beschreibung |
---|---|---|
hub.mode | string | Required. Either subscribe or unsubscribe . |
hub.topic | string | Required. The URI of the GitHub repository to subscribe to. The path must be in the format of /{owner}/{repo}/events/{event} . |
hub.callback | string | The URI to receive the updates to the topic. |
hub.secret | string | A shared secret key that generates a hash signature of the outgoing body content. You can verify a push came from GitHub by comparing the raw request body with the contents of the X-Hub-Signature header. You can see the PubSubHubbub documentation for more details. |
