Method GetRef

github/git_refs.go:58–73

GetRef fetches a single reference in a repository. The ref must be formatted as `heads/ ` for branches and `tags/ ` for tags. GitHub API docs: https://docs.github.com/rest/git/refs?apiVersion=2022-11-28#get-a-reference meta:operation GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/ref/{ref}

(ctx context.Context, owner, repo, ref string)

//
//meta:operation GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/ref/{ref}
func (s *GitService) GetRef(ctx context.Context, owner, repo, ref string) (*Reference, *Response, error) {
	ref = strings.TrimPrefix(ref, "refs/")
	u := fmt.Sprintf("repos/%v/%v/git/ref/%v", owner, repo, refURLEscape(ref))
	req, err := s.client.NewRequest(ctx, "GET", u, nil)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, nil, err
	}

	var r *Reference
	resp, err := s.client.Do(req, &r)
	if err != nil {
		return nil, resp, err
	}

	return r, resp, nil
}

// refURLEscape escapes every path segment of the given ref. Those must
// not contain escaped "/" - as "%2F" - or github will not recognize it.
