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
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. |
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
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
Commit statuses
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.
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
