REST API

GitHub REST API use on the Gallery:

• Find SHA (id) of main branch at /commit/commit/tree/sha (get the SHA from resulting JSON) https://api.github.com/repos/zoomicon/READCOM_Gallery/branches/main

  or get just the SHA (id) of main branch via CURL (since we need to set a custom header):

  curl -s -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.VERSION.sha" "https://api.github.com/repos/zoomicon/READCOM_Gallery/commits/main"

• List Gallery main folders: https://api.github.com/repos/zoomicon/READCOM_Gallery/git/trees/PUT-THE-SHA-HERE?recursive=1 (alternatively get /commit/commit/tree/url from previous JSON)

  If you browse this with JSON viewer (e.g. with Firefox) can usually click the "url" value e.g. for child item with "path" value "Gallery" to navigate deeper
