How to get a tree of recent commits / pulls of a repository

[BoasE]

Hi

I'm playing around with the octokit framework. Some things are really easy to achieve, otherseem to be not so intuitive.

One thing i'm currently having problems with, is how to get recent commits or a commit tree within a specific timerange of a given repository and / or branch.

I assume that i should use the git database client like:

var commits = await octokitClient.GitDatabase.Commit.Get("Owner", "Project","Magic_Reference");

But I'm not sure what this "reference" parameter is about.

Can someone give me a hint or even more better an example?

Getting repository commits is not implemented yet. See #333. Feel free to give implementing it a shot and send a PR 😉

The method you've found can also get a specific commit, but with a lot less data than the repository commit endpoint. The reference parameter is actually a commit SHA, I think it's just badly named.

Also check out the documentation for repository commits and git data commits. The API should match the documentation pretty well.

This was implemented on #529 and merged yesterday.
