VERSION

version 0.01012

METHODS

create

• Create a Reference

  POST /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs

  Parameters:

  • user: mandatory string

  • repo: mandatory string

  • data: mandatory hashref, having following keys:

    • ref: mandatory string of the name of the fully qualified reference (ie: refs/heads/master). If it doesn't start with 'refs' and have at least two slashes, it will be rejected.

    • sha: mandatory string of the SHA1 value to set this reference to.

  Examples:

  my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new;
  my $result = $r->create(
      user => 'plu',
      repo => 'Pithub',
      data => {
          ref => 'refs/heads/master',
          sha => '827efc6d56897b048c772eb4087f854f46256132' .
      }
  );

get

• Get a Reference

  GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs/:ref

  Parameters:

  • user: mandatory string

  • repo: mandatory string

  • ref: mandatory string

    The key ref must be formatted as heads/branch, not just branch. For example, the call to get the data for a branch named sc/featureA > would be: heads/sc/featureA

  Examples:

  my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new;
  my $result = $r->get(
      user => 'plu',
      repo => 'Pithub',
      ref  => 'heads/master'
  );

  Response: Status: 200 OK

  {
      "ref": "refs/heads/sc/featureA",
      "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/refs/heads/sc/featureA",
      "object": {
          "type": "commit",
          "sha": "aa218f56b14c9653891f9e74264a383fa43fefbd",

      }
  }

list

• Get all References

  GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs

  This will return an array of all the references on the system, including things like notes and stashes if they exist on the server. Anything in the namespace, not just heads and tags, though that would be the most common.

  Parameters:

  • user: mandatory string

  • repo: mandatory string

  Examples:

  my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new;
  my $result = $r->list(
      user => 'plu',
      repo => 'Pithub',
  );

• You can also request a sub-namespace. For example, to get all the tag references, you can call:

  GET /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs/tags

  Parameters:

  • user: mandatory string

  • repo: mandatory string

  • ref: mandatory string

  Examples:

  my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new;
  my $result = $r->list(
      user => 'plu',
      repo => 'Pithub',
      ref  => 'tags',
  );

  Response: Status: 200 OK

update

• Update a Reference

  PATCH /repos/:user/:repo/git/refs/:ref

  Parameters:

  • user: mandatory string

  • repo: mandatory string

  • ref: mandatory string

  • data: mandatory hashref, having following keys:

    • sha: mandatory string of the SHA1 value to set this reference to.

    • force: optional boolean indicating whether to force the update or to make sure the update is a fast-forward update. The default is false so leaving this out or setting it to false will make sure you're not overwriting work.

  Examples:

  my $r = Pithub::GitData::References->new;
  my $result = $r->update(
      user => 'plu',
      repo => 'Pithub',
      ref  => 'tags/v1.0',
      data => {
          force => 1,
          sha   => 'aa218f56b14c9653891f9e74264a383fa43fefbd',
      }
  );
