Git 引用

使用 REST API 与 GitHub Enterprise Server 上的 Git 数据库中的引用进行交互

关于 Git 引用

Git 引用 (git ref) 是一个包含 Git 提交 SHA-1 哈希的文件。当引用 Git 提交时，你可以使用 Git 引用，与哈希相比这是一个易于记住的名称。可以重写 Git 引用指向新的提交。分支是存储新 Git 提交哈希的 Git 引用。通过这些终结点，可以在 GitHub Enterprise Server 上读取引用并将其写入 Git 数据库。

List matching references

Works with 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.
