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",
            "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/octocat/Hello-World/git/commits/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',
        }
    );
