✅

In git, you can only ask for the current commit on some given branch. Here’s an example:

$ wget -q -O - https://api.github.com/repos/smarnach/pyexiftool/git/refs/heads/master 
{
  "ref": "refs/heads/master",
  "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/smarnach/pyexiftool/git/refs/heads/master",
  "object": {
    "type": "commit",
    "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/smarnach/pyexiftool/git/commits/7be4b9bb680521369f2ae3310b1f6de5d14d1f8b",
    "sha": "7be4b9bb680521369f2ae3310b1f6de5d14d1f8b"
  }
}
