I want to execute git pull and git clone command via REST API. I have searched the api doc but not able to found anything useful. https://developer.github.com/v3/
You can download the repo as zip or tar from archive url.
Eg : https://api.github.com/repos/:owner/:repo/:archive_format/:ref
Archive_format can be zipball or tarball. Ref is the branch name, by default api will take master branch.
Then from this url, you can download the repo
URL url = new URL(urlStr);
try( ReadableByteChannel rbc = Channels.newChannel(url.openStream()) )
{
try( FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(filepathToSave) )
{
fos.getChannel().transferFrom(rbc, 0, Long.MAX_VALUE);
}
}
If you want to get a git repository and then be able to do git add
, git commit
or any other git
command, use git clone
.
If you just want to get the repository content, you can download an archive with the link https://github.com/ {OWNER}/{REPOSITORY}/archive/{BRANCH_NAME}.(zip|tar.gz), (eg https://github.com/ansible/ansible/archive/devel.tar.gz ).
But you won't be able to do any git interaction then...
