Get last-commit attribution for a tree

GET/api/repos/{owner}/{repo}/tree-commits

getRepositoryTreeCommits

Returns the most recent commit touching the selected path plus, per tree entry, the last first-parent commit that changed it — the data behind the file browser's commit columns.

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

TreeCommitsResponse

object

Last-commit attribution for a tree page: the most recent commit touching the path (header bar) plus a per-entry attribution map. Served separately from the tree itself so the file list renders without waiting on the history walk.

completerequired

boolean

`false` when the history walk hit its depth cap before attributing every entry.

entriesrequired

array

Entries with a resolved last commit; entries missing here were not attributed within the walk budget.

TreeEntryCommitResponse

The most recent first-parent commit that touched one tree entry — the per-row "last commit message / age" columns of the file browser.

namerequired: string
Entry name within the tree (not a full path).
oidrequired: string
40-hex OID of the attributed commit.
summaryrequired: string
First line of the commit message.
timestamprequired: integerint64
Committer timestamp, epoch milliseconds.

Schemas

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

`CommitSignatureResponse`

object

emailrequired: string
namerequired: string
timestamprequired: integerint64

`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.

account_idrequired: string
display_namerequired: string
emailrequired: string
handlerequired: string

`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.

failedrequired: integerint64
pendingrequired: integerint64
staterequired: 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"
succeededrequired: integerint64
totalrequired: integerint64

`CommitPullRequestRef`

object

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.

is_headrequired: boolean
`true` if this commit is the PR's current head; `false` if it is only a historical revision head.
numberrequired: integerint32
statusrequired: PullRequestStatus
string
Lifecycle status of a pull request.
