# Repository files API
|
|
|
|
**CRUD for repository files**
|
|
|
|
**Create, read, update and delete repository files using this API**
|
|
|
|
## Get file from repository
|
|
|
|
Allows you to receive information about file in repository like name, size,
|
|
content. Note that file content is Base64 encoded. This endpoint can be accessed
|
|
without authentication if the repository is publicly accessible.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
GET /projects/:id/repository/files/:file_path
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl --request GET --header 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK' 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/13083/repository/files/app%2Fmodels%2Fkey%2Erb?ref=master'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example response:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"file_name": "key.rb",
|
|
"file_path": "app/models/key.rb",
|
|
"size": 1476,
|
|
"encoding": "base64",
|
|
"content": "IyA9PSBTY2hlbWEgSW5mb3...",
|
|
"content_sha256": "4c294617b60715c1d218e61164a3abd4808a4284cbc30e6728a01ad9aada4481",
|
|
"ref": "master",
|
|
"blob_id": "79f7bbd25901e8334750839545a9bd021f0e4c83",
|
|
"commit_id": "d5a3ff139356ce33e37e73add446f16869741b50",
|
|
"last_commit_id": "570e7b2abdd848b95f2f578043fc23bd6f6fd24d"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `file_path` (required) - Url encoded full path to new file. Ex. lib%2Fclass%2Erb
|
|
- `ref` (required) - The name of branch, tag or commit
|
|
|
|
NOTE: **Note:**
|
|
`blob_id` is the blob sha, see [repositories - Get a blob from repository](repositories.md#get-a-blob-from-repository)
|
|
|
|
In addition to the `GET` method, you can also use `HEAD` to get just file metadata.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
HEAD /projects/:id/repository/files/:file_path
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl --head --header 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK' 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/13083/repository/files/app%2Fmodels%2Fkey%2Erb?ref=master'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example response:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

## Update existing file in repository
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PUT /projects/:id/repository/files/:file_path
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
curl --request PUT --header 'PRIVATE-TOKEN: 9koXpg98eAheJpvBs5tK' 'https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/13083/repository/files/app%2Fproject%2Erb?branch=master&author_email=author%40example.com&author_name=Firstname%20Lastname&content=some%20other%20content&commit_message=update%20file'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example response:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"file_path": "app/project.rb",
|
|
"branch": "master"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Parameters:
|
|
|
|
- `file_path` (required) - Url encoded full path to new file. Ex. lib%2Fclass%2Erb
|
|
- `branch` (required) - Name of the branch
|
|
- `start_branch` (optional) - Name of the branch to start the new commit from
|
|
- `encoding` (optional) - Change encoding to 'base64'. Default is text.
|
|
- `author_email` (optional) - Specify the commit author's email address
|
|
- `author_name` (optional) - Specify the commit author's name
|
|
- `content` (required) - New file content
|
|
- `commit_message` (required) - Commit message
|
|
- `last_commit_id` (optional) - Last known file commit id
|
|
|
|
If the commit fails for any reason we return a 400 error with a non-specific
|
|
error message. Possible causes for a failed commit include:
|
|
- the `file_path` contained `/../` (attempted directory traversal);
|
|
- the new file contents were identical to the current file contents, i.e. the
|
|
user tried to make an empty commit;
|
|
- the branch was updated by a Git push while the file edit was in progress.
|
|
|
|
Currently gitlab-shell has a boolean return code, preventing GitLab from specifying the error.
|
|
|
|
