Pithub::GitData::Tags(3) Github v3 Git Data Tags API

VERSION

version 0.01033

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 stringof 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 => {
