Unable to fetch contents from Commit object / Commit file

[dilipmighty245]

Hi Team,

I have been tying to understand how to fetch contents from a commit and im unable to do so.
it returns files []*Commitfiles which is always empty.
commits, res, err := client.Repositories.ListCommits(context.TODO(), "dilipmighty245", "demo", opts)

and I then tried fetching contents from the below:
file, dir, rep, err := client.Repositories.GetContents(context.TODO(), "dilipmighty245", "demo", "myfile", nil)

This gives me content of the file on the latest but it doesnt give me commit sha. The sha I fetch from this not the same as commit sha.

Kindly share me how do I link between this file and commit?

Also, can you suggest if there is any watcher available (without configuring any webhooks) ? The Ratelimit of github is 5000 per authentication, if i add my own polling logic i would exhaust the limit in no time.

It seems to work fine for me:

// -*- compile-command: "go run main.go"; -*-

package main

import (
	"context"
	"log"

	dbg "github.com/gmlewis/go-httpdebug/httpdebug"
	"github.com/google/go-github/v44/github"
	"golang.org/x/oauth2"
)

const SECRET="..."

func main() {
	ts := oauth2.StaticTokenSource(
		&oauth2.Token{AccessToken: SECRET},
	)
	tc := oauth2.NewClient(oauth2.NoContext, ts)
	tp := dbg.New(dbg.WithTransport(tc.Transport))
	client := github.NewClient(tp.Client())

	owner := "irmf"
	name := "irmf-vscode"

	ctx := context.Background()
	commits, resp, err := client.Repositories.ListCommits(ctx, owner, name, nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Printf("len(commits)=%v, resp.StatusCode=%v", len(commits), resp.StatusCode)

	for i, commit := range commits {
		log.Printf("commit #%v: %#v", i+1, commit)
		log.Printf("commit #%v: sha=%q", i+1, commit.GetSHA())
	}
}

gives me this:

$ go run main.go

Well, no... that's what webhooks are for.
