Références Git

Utilisez l’API REST pour interagir avec les références de votre base de données Git sur GitHub.

À propos des références Git

Une référence Git (git ref) est un fichier qui contient un hachage SHA-1 de validation Git. Lorsque vous faites référence à une validation Git, vous pouvez utiliser la référence Git, qui est un nom facile à mémoriser, plutôt que le hachage. La référence Git peut être réécrite pour pointer vers une nouvelle validation. Une branche est une référence Git qui stocke le nouveau hachage de validation Git. Ces points de terminaison vous permettent de lire et d’écrire des références à votre base de données Git sur GitHub.

List matching references

Compatible avec GitHub Apps

Returns an array of references from your Git database that match the supplied name. The :ref in the URL must be formatted as heads/<branch name> for branches and tags/<tag name> for tags. If the :ref doesn't exist in the repository, but existing refs start with :ref, they will be returned as an array.

When you use this endpoint without providing a :ref, it will return an array of all the references from your Git database, including notes and stashes if they exist on the server. Anything in the namespace is returned, not just heads and tags.

Note: You need to explicitly request a pull request to trigger a test merge commit, which checks the mergeability of pull requests. For more information, see "Checking mergeability of pull requests".

If you request matching references for a branch named feature but the branch feature doesn't exist, the response can still include other matching head refs that start with the word feature, such as featureA and featureB.

Get a reference

Compatible avec GitHub Apps

Returns a single reference from your Git database. The :ref in the URL must be formatted as heads/<branch name> for branches and tags/<tag name> for tags. If the :ref doesn't match an existing ref, a 404 is returned.

Note: You need to explicitly request a pull request to trigger a test merge commit, which checks the mergeability of pull requests. For more information, see "Checking mergeability of pull requests".
