Contenidos del repositorio - GitHub Enterprise Server 3.1 Docs

Las terminales de esta API te permiten crear, modificar y borrar contenido cifrado en Base64 en un repositorio.

About the Repository contents API

Para solicitar el formato sin procesar y interpretado en HTML (cuando sea posible), utiliza los tipos de medios personalizados para el contenido de un repositorio.

Tipos de medios personalizados para el contenido de un repositorio

Los README, archivos y symlinks son compatibles con los siguientes tipos de medios personalizados:

application/vnd.github.VERSION.raw
application/vnd.github.VERSION.html

Utiliza el tipo de medios .raw para recuperar el contenido del archivo.

Para archivos de markup tales como Markdown o AsciiDoc, puedes recuperar la interpretación en HTML si utilizas el tipo de medios .html. Los lenguajes de Markup se interpretan en HTML utilizando nuestra biblioteca de Markup de código abierto.

Todos los objetos son compatibles con el siguiente tipo de medios personalizados:

application/vnd.github.VERSION.object

Utiliza el parámetro de tipo de medios object para recuperar el contenido en un formato de objeto consistente sin importar el tipo de contenido. Por ejemplo, en vez de ser una matriz de objetos para un directorio, la respuesta será un objeto con un atributo de entries que contenga la matriz de objetos.

Puedes leer más acerca del uso de tipos de medios en la API aquí.

Get repository content

Funciona con GitHub Apps

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.
