仓库内容
使用 REST API 在存储库中创建、修改和删除 Base64 编码的内容。
关于存储库内容
要请求原始格式或渲染的 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.raw
application/vnd.github.html
使用 .raw
媒体类型检索文件的内容。
对于 Markdown 或 AsciiDoc 等标记文件,可以使用 .html
媒体类型检索呈现的 HTML。 使用我们的开源标记库将标记语言呈现为 HTML。
所有对象都支持以下自定义媒体类型:
application/vnd.github.object
无论内容类型如何,使用 object
媒体类型参数以一致的对象格式检索内容。 例如,响应不是目录的对象数组,而是具有包含对象数组的 entries
属性的对象。
有关 API 中的媒体类型使用的详细信息,请参阅“媒体类型”。
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.
Notes:
- 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.
- Download URLs expire and are meant to be used just once. To ensure the download URL does not expire, please use the contents API to obtain a fresh download URL for each download. Size limits: If the requested file's size is:
- 1 MB or smaller: All features of this endpoint are supported.
- Between 1-100 MB: Only the
raw
orobject
custom media types are supported. Both will work as normal, except that when using theobject
media type, thecontent
field will be an empty string and theencoding
field will be"none"
. To get the contents of these larger files, use theraw
media type. - Greater than 100 MB: This endpoint is not supported.
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.
