本文为大家提供一种使用 GitHub API 更新 GitHub 仓库的方法。通常我们会使用 Git 客户端 Commit 然后 Push 到 GitHub，但 GitHub 为我们提供了相关 API，在某些情况下可以直接通过 API 更新仓库。
在此之前有一些前置知识点，你需要了解 git 的储存原理。碰巧最近掘金有一篇很火的文章有提到相关知识。
使用 GitHub API 更新仓库只需六步。虽然对于第一次接触的新手来说可能会有点复杂，但是理清关系之后思路便会很清晰了。
获取 Ref：Ref 指 Git 的引用。如果要发起 Commit，必须知道你的 Commit 要提交到什么地方去（Commit 是一个接一个的链状关系，所以需要知道上一个 Commit 的信息），这一步做的就是这件事。
获取 Commit：用于获取当前 Commit 的 tree 的 sha。
生成 Blob：相当于正常本地提交的 add 操作，可以参考这里的解释。
生成 Tree：构建一个新的 tree，把上一步生成的 Blob 放到合适的位置。这里需要用到的参数 base_tree 就是来自第二步的 Commit 信息。
生成 Commit：提交你的 tree，这步跟正常 commit 很接近，不过要你手动找到此次提交的上一次提交，借哈希值把新的 Commit 接起来。
更新 Ref：使 master 的指针指到你最新提交的版本。
注意：访问 POST 方法的接口必须带 token，虽然 GET 可以不带，但是会限制访问频率，所以建议都带上。相关文档：https://developer.github.com/v3/#authentication

var updateGitHubRes = function(blob, path) {
var commitSha
var commitTreeSha
return getRef()
.then(({data}) => {
commitSha = data.object.sha
return getCommit(commitSha)
})
.then(({data}) => {

return createCommit(commitSha, treeSha)
})
.then(({data}) => {
var newCommitSha = data.sha
return updataRef(newCommitSha)
})
.catch(err => {
console.log(err)
})
}
var getRef = function() {
return axios.get(`/${owner}/${repo}/git/refs/heads/master`)
}
var getCommit = function(commitSha) {
return axios.get(`/${owner}/${repo}/git/commits/${commitSha}`)
}
var createBlob = function(content) {
return axios.post(`/${owner}/${repo}/git/blobs`, {
content,
encoding: ‘utf-8’
})
}
var createTree = function(base_tree, path, sha) {
return axios.post(`/${owner}/${repo}/git/trees`, {
base_tree, // commit tree 的 sha
tree: [
{
path, // 文件路径
mode: ‘100644’, // 类型，详情看文档
type: ‘blob’,
sha // 刚才生成的 blob 的 sha
}
]
})
}
var createCommit = function(parentCommitSha, tree, message = ‘update post’) {
return axios.post(`/${owner}/${repo}/git/commits`, {
message,
parents: [parentCommitSha],// 上次 commit 的 sha
tree
})
}
