Question

Is it possible to get commit logs/messages of a remote git repo without git clone?

The git repo I am working with is huge, even if I run git clone with --depth=1 sti

Answer 1

Not the exact, but a way around.

Use GitHub Developer API

1. Opening this will get you the recent commits.

    https://api.github.com/repos/learningequality/ka-lite/commits

    You can get the specific commit details by attaching the commit hash in the end of above url.

2. All the files ( You need sha for the main tree)

    https://api.github.com/repos/learningequality/ka-lite/git/trees/7b698a988683b161bdcd48a949b01e2b336b4c01

I hope this may help.
