}Create a Tree
The tree creation API will take nested entries as well. If both a tree and a nested path modifying that tree are specified, it will overwrite the contents of that tree with the new path contents and write a new tree out.
POST /repos/:owner/:repo/git/trees
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
tree |
array of hashes |
Required. Objects (of path, mode, type, and sha) specifying a tree structure |
base_tree |
string |
The SHA1 of the tree you want to update with new data. If you don’t set this, the commit will be created on top of everything; however, it will only contain your change, the rest of your files will show up as deleted. |
The tree parameter takes the following keys:
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
path |
string |
The file referenced in the tree |
mode |
string |
The file mode; one of 100644 for file (blob), 100755 for executable (blob), 040000 for subdirectory (tree), 160000 for submodule (commit), or 120000 for a blob that specifies the path of a symlink |
type |
string |
Either blob, tree, or commit
|
sha |
string |
The SHA1 checksum ID of the object in the tree |
content |
string |
The content you want this file to have. GitHub will write this blob out and use that SHA for this entry. Use either this, or tree.sha. |
