We publish frequent updates to our documentation, and translation of this page may still be in progress. For the most current information, please visit the English documentation.

We've recently moved some of the REST API documentation. If you can't find what you're looking for, you might try the new Branches, Collaborators, Commits, Deploy Keys, Deployments, GitHub Pages, Releases, Metrics, Webhooks REST API pages.

Informationen zu Commitstatus

Du kannst die REST-API verwenden, um externen Diensten das Markieren von Commits mit einem error-, failure-, pending- oder success-Status zu erlauben, der sich dann in Pull Requests mit diesen Commits widerspiegelt.

Statuswerte können auch eine optionale description und target_url enthalten, und es wird dringend empfohlen, sie bereitzustellen, weil dadurch die Statuswerte auf der GitHub-Benutzeroberfläche viel zweckmäßiger sind.

Ein Beispiel für die Verwendung ist für Continuous Integration-Dienste, um Commits als Builds mit dem Status „Übergeben“ oder „Fehler“ zu kennzeichnen. target_url wäre hier die vollständige URL für die Buildausgabe, und description wäre die allgemeine Zusammenfassung der Ereignisse mit dem Build.

Statuswerte können context einschließen, um anzugeben, welcher Dienst diesen Status bereitstellt. Als Beispiel können die Pushstatuswerte deines Continuous Integration-Diensts den Kontext ci und die Pushstatuswerte deines Sicherheitsüberwachungstools den Kontext security besitzen.

Dann kannst du die REST-API zum Abrufen des kombinierten Status für einen bestimmten Verweis verwenden, um den gesamten Status eines Commits abzurufen. Beachte, dass der repo:status-OAuth-Bereich gezielten Zugriff auf Statuswerte ermöglicht, ohne zusätzlich Zugriff auf den Repositorycode zu gewähren. Der repo-Bereich gewährt wiederum Berechtigungen für Code sowie für Statuswerte. Wenn du eine GitHub App entwickelst und genauere Informationen zu einem externen Dienst bereitstellen möchtest, kannst du die REST-API zum Verwalten von Überprüfungen verwenden.

Weitere Informationen findest du unter Prüfungen.

If you are developing a GitHub App and want to provide more detailed information about an external service, you may want to use the REST API to manage checks. For more information, see "Prüfungen."

Get the combined status for a specific reference

Works with GitHub Apps

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.

Additionally, a combined state is returned. The state is one of:

  • failure if any of the contexts report as error or failure
  • pending if there are no statuses or a context is pending
  • success if the latest status for all contexts is success

Create a commit status

Works with GitHub Apps

Users with push access in a repository can create commit statuses for a given SHA.

http://ci.example.com/user/repo/build/sha

descriptionstring or null

A short description of the status.

contextstring

A string label to differentiate this status from the status of other systems. This field is case-insensitive.
