GitHub Api: How to get Root :tree_sha of a repository?
- by Chris Jacob
How do I get the Root :tree_sha of a GitHub repository via the GitHub API?
The GitHib API help pages don't seem to explain this critical piece of information:
http://develop.github.com/p/object.html
Can get the contents of a tree by tree
SHA
tree/show/:user/:repo/:tree_sha
To get a listing of the root tree for
the facebox project from our commit
listing, we can call this:
$ curl
http://github.com/api/v2/yaml/tree/show/defunkt/facebox/a47803c9ba26213ff194f042ab686a7749b17476
