Github API - create branch?

Question

Seems like it\'s missing from the \"Repos\" docs for v1, v2, and v3...how do I create a branch using the Github API?

Answer 1

This is a common problem for all the students when we create API for creating a branch in GitHub

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://developer.github.com/v3"
}

For solving this error during create repository in Github.....

1. First create a personal token in

   Github=>setting=>developerOption=>generatePersonalToken...

                    or 
   

   during gitLogin bu Oauth when you pass client_id that time you pass scope=repo(Because it's allow all the Repository when you used token or anything)

2. After that: hit the API(get)

   https://api.github.com/repos///git/refs/heads

3. You got a response which is like

   Response => {
   [
   {
       "ref": "refs/heads/",
       "node_id": "jkdhoOIHOO65464edg66464GNLNLnlnnlnlna==",
       "url": " https://api.github.com/repos///git/refs/heads/",
       "object": {
           "sha": "guDSGss85s1KBih546465kkbNNKKbkSGyjes56",
           "type": "commit",
           "url": " https://api.github.com/repos///git/commits/guDSGss85s1KBih546465kkbNNKKbkSGyjes56"
       }
   }
   ]
   }
   

4. Complete this process again hit API (Post)

   https://api.github.com/repos/Bhupi2508/Test/git/refs...
   

   And send data in JSON format like this:

   {
       "ref": "refs/heads/",
       "sha": "4661616ikgohlKIKHBK4634GRGSD66"
   }
   

   THEN YOU CREATE A BRANCH IN GITHUB By APIs

   And the process for Delete Branch hit only DELETE (first) APIs
