Git リファレンス用 REST API エンドポイント

REST API を使用し、GitHub で Git データベースの参照を操作します。

Git 参照について

Git 参照 (git ref) は、Git コミット SHA-1 ハッシュを含むファイルです。 Git コミットを参照するときは、ハッシュではなく、覚えやすい名前の Git 参照を使用できます。 Git 参照は、新しいコミットを指すように書き換えることができます。 ブランチは、新しい Git コミット ハッシュを格納する Git 参照です。 これらのエンドポイントを使用すると、GitHub 上の Git データベースへの参照を読み書きできます。

List matching references

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

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".
