Preview notices
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.

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 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.

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.
