Pithub::GitData::Tags(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Pithub::GitData::Tags(3pm)

NAME

Pithub::GitData::Tags - Github v3 Git Data Tags API

VERSION

version 0.01043

DESCRIPTION

This tags api only deals with tag objects - so only annotated tags, not lightweight tags.

METHODS

create

•
Create a Tag

Note that creating a tag object does not create the reference that makes a tag in Git. If you want to create an annotated tag in Git, you have to do this call to create the tag object, and then create the "refs/tags/[tag]" reference. If you want to create a lightweight tag, you simply have to create the reference - this call would be unnecessary.

    POST /repos/:user/:repo/git/tags

Parameters:

  • user: mandatory string
  • repo: mandatory string
  • data: mandatory hashref, having following keys:
  • tag: mandatory string of the tag
  • message: mandatory string of the tag message
  • object: mandatory string of the SHA of the git object this is tagging
  • type: mandatory string of the type of the object we're tagging. Normally this is a "commit" but it can also be a "tree" or a "blob".
  • tagger: mandatory hashref, having following keys:
  • name: string of the name of the author of the tag
  • email: string of the email of the author of the tag
  • date: timestamp of when this commit was tagged

Examples:

    my $t = Pithub::GitData::Tags->new;
    my $result = $t->create(
        user => 'plu',
        repo => 'Pithub',
        data => {
            tagger => {
                date  => '2011-06-17T14:53:35-07:00',
                email => 'schacon@gmail.com',
                name  => 'Scott Chacon',
            },
            message => 'initial version',
            object  => 'c3d0be41ecbe669545ee3e94d31ed9a4bc91ee3c',
            tag     => 'v0.0.1',
            type    => 'commit',
        }
    );
