Get commit details

GET/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/commit/{oid}

getCommitDetail

Returns parsed commit metadata: author, committer, message, parents, and tree OID. The `oid` parameter accepts a 40-hex SHA-1 commit OID that must be reachable from the selected repository.

Authentication is not described for this operation in the spec — that does not mean it is public. Check tokens and scopes.

AuthorRef
object
A commit author/committer resolved to a platform account, matched at read time on a **verified** email. `None` when the commit's email is not a verified account (imported history, an unverified address, a bot) — the raw `name`/`email` on the signature is still rendered, as GitHub does.

null
CommitChecksSummary
object
Rollup of everything that checked a commit: workflow runs it triggered plus external statuses posted against it. `state` follows [`CommitStatusState::rollup`] — `failure` if anything failed, `pending` while anything is still in flight, `success` only when all green.

one of

CommitPullRequestRef

The pull request a commit belongs to, resolved at read time by matching the commit against PR heads (`is_head = true`) and historical revision heads (`is_head = false`). `None` when the commit is not any PR's (current or past) head.

Schemas

Referenced above. Listed here rather than expanded inline, so the same definition is not repeated at every level.

`CommitStatusState`

string

State of a single commit status, GitHub-shaped. `Error` is distinct from `Failure` on individual statuses (infrastructure/tooling breakage vs. a real red result) but the combined rollup folds both into `Failure`.

"pending""success""failure""error"

`PullRequestStatus`

string

Lifecycle status of a pull request.

"open""merged""closed"
