仓库内容
此 API 端点允许您在仓库中创建、修改和� 除 Base64 编� �的内容。
关于存储库内容 API
要请求原始� �式或渲染的 HTML(如果支持),请对仓库内容使用自定义媒体类型。
仓库内容的自定义媒体类型
application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html
使用 .raw 媒体类型检索文件内容。
对于 Markdown 或 AsciiDoc 等� �记文件,您可以使用 .html 媒体类型检索渲染的 HTML。 使用我们的开源� �记库将� �记语言渲染为 HTML。
所有对象都支持以下自定义媒体类型:
application/vnd.github.VERSION.object
使用 object 媒体类型参数以一致的对象� �式检索内容,而不考虑内容类型。 例如,响应将是包含对象数组的 entries 属性的对象,而不是目录的对象数组。
您可以在此处阅读有关 API 中媒体类型使用情况的更多信息。
Get repository content
Gets the contents of a file or directory in a repository. Specify the file path or directory in :path. If you omit
:path, you will receive the contents of the repository's root directory. See the description below regarding what the API response includes for directories.
Files and symlinks support a custom media type for retrieving the raw content or rendered HTML (when supported). All content types support a custom media type to ensure the content is returned in a consistent object format.
Note:
- To get a repository's contents recursively, you can recursively get the tree.
- This API has an upper limit of 1,000 files for a directory. If you need to retrieve more files, use the Git Trees API.
- This API supports files up to 1 megabyte in size.
If the content is a directory
The response will be an array of objects, one object for each item in the directory. When listing the contents of a directory, submodules have their "type" specified as "file". Logically, the value should be "submodule". This behavior exists in API v3 for backwards compatibility purposes. In the next major version of the API, the type will be returned as "submodule".
If the content is a symlink
If the requested :path points to a symlink, and the symlink's target is a normal file in the repository, then the
API responds with the content of the file (in the format shown in the example. Otherwise, the API responds with an object
describing the symlink itself.
If the content is a submodule
The submodule_git_url identifies the location of the submodule repository, and the sha identifies a specific
commit within the submodule repository. Git uses the given URL when cloning the submodule repository, and checks out
the submodule at that specific commit.
If the submodule repository is not hosted on github.com, the Git URLs (git_url and _links["git"]) and the
github.com URLs (html_url and _links["html"]) will have null values.
