Delete a repository

Works with GitHub Apps

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.

Parameters

Headers
Name, Type, Description
`accept`string Setting to `application/vnd.github+json` is recommended.
Path parameters
Name, Type, Description
`owner`stringRequired The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.

Response

Status: 204

List repository contributors

Works with GitHub Apps

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 v3 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.

Parameters

Headers
Name, Type, Description
`accept`string Setting to `application/vnd.github+json` is recommended.
Path parameters
Name, Type, Description
`owner`stringRequired The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
`repo`stringRequired The name of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
Query parameters
Name, Type, Description
`anon`string Set to `1` or `true` to include anonymous contributors in results.
`per_page`integer The number of results per page (max 100). Default: `30`
`page`integer Page number of the results to fetch. Default: `1`

HTTP Status Code

Status code	Descrição
`200`	if repository contains content
`204`	Response if repository is empty
`403`	Forbidden
`404`	Resource not found

Create a repository dispatch event

Works with GitHub Apps

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 and contents:read&write permissions.

This input example shows how you can use the client_payload as a test to debug your workflow.

Parameters

Headers
Name, Type, Description
`accept`string Setting to `application/vnd.github+json` is recommended.
Path parameters
Name, Type, Description
`owner`stringRequired The account owner of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
`repo`stringRequired The name of the repository. The name is not case sensitive.
Body parameters
Name, Type, Description
`event_type`stringRequired A custom webhook event name. Must be 100 characters or fewer.
`client_payload`object JSON payload with extra information about the webhook event that your action or workflow may use.

HTTP Status Code

Status code	Descrição
`204`	No Content
`422`	Validation failed, or the endpoint has been spammed.

Create a repository using a template

Creates a new repository using a repository template. Use the template_owner and template_repo route parameters to specify the repository to use as the template. If the repository is not public, the authenticated user must own or be a member of an organization that owns the repository. To check if a repository is available to use as a template, get the repository's information using the Get a repository endpoint and check that the is_template key is true.

OAuth scope requirements

When using OAuth, authorizations must include:

public_repo scope or repo scope to create a public repository. Note: For GitHub AE, use repo scope to create an internal repository.
repo scope to create a private repository
