CommitAuthorsResponse
Who wrote each of a page of commits: its author and committer resolved to the platform's
people, service accounts and AI organization's agents. Kept apart from [Commit], which is
addressed by its sha and cached for a year: who an address belongs to can change, so it is read
fresh, one request for a whole page.
Shape
itemsarray of CommitAuthorsOne entry per requested commit the repository holds, in the order asked. A sha it holds no commit for — a force-push may have dropped it — is left out.
- The CommitAuthors schema
- commit_shaCommitHash (string)The commit.
authorActorSummary or nulloptionalThe principal the commit's author address belongs to — a person anywhere, or a service account or agent of the repository's organization. Absent when the address is nobody's, or more than one principal's. Git does not authenticate an author: this says whose address the commit names, not who made it.
- The ActorSummary schema
- emailstringThe principal's address. An agent's is a generated no-reply address — the author of its commits.
unknownon a deleted actor and empty on a redacted one. - idstringThe principal's id: a user id, a service account id or an agent id, as
kindsays. Empty on a redacted actor. - usernamestringThe name to show: a person's or service account's username, or an agent's handle (which always ends in
-ai).deleted-userwhen the actor no longer resolves,redactedwhen the caller may not see who it was. - avatar_urlstring or nulloptionalThe principal's picture, when one is known. Absent otherwise: a client derives the deterministic avatar URL itself.
- kindPrincipalKinduserservice_accountagentor nulloptionalWhat the actor is — a person, a service account or an AI organization's agent — and so which page it links to. Absent on a placeholder (a redacted or deleted actor) and on an actor that is not a principal, such as the platform's own
systemactor; a client draws such an actor unlinked.
