Pull changes from GitHub

This API is in beta. Endpoints, fields, and behavior may still change, so avoid depending on it in production.

Pulls new commits from the connected GitHub repository into the app.

Call this after someone pushes to the repository, or before you read the app’s code, so Base44 is working from the latest version. It applies only what is new since the last pull, and does nothing when the app is already up to date.

A failed pull is reported in the response body rather than as an error, so read synced and error. Base44 doesn’t record the commits it couldn’t apply, so the next pull picks them up again rather than skipping past them. A pull that fails late can already have added a chat message or a checkpoint, and retrying repeats those.

A merge conflict means the repository’s commits and the app’s own changes touch the same lines. Hand it to Resolve GitHub sync conflicts.

The response includes fields beyond the ones documented here. Don’t rely on undocumented response fields, as they can change at any time.

Authorizations

api_key

string

header

required

Personal API key.

Path Parameters

app_id

string

required

ID of the app whose GitHub sync this affects.

Response

The outcome of the pull.

Outcome of a pull from the connected repository.

synced

boolean

required

Whether this call applied new commits to the app.

Example:

true

already_up_to_date

boolean

required

Whether the repository's head was already the last commit Base44 pulled, so there was nothing to do.

Example:

false

commits_pulled

integer

required

How many commits commits holds, so commits Base44 pushed itself aren't counted. The value is 0 when nothing was pulled.

Example:

2

latest_commit_hash

string | null

Repository head after the pull, or null when nothing was pulled.

Example:

"4c7e1f90ab3d5628e1a0f7b24c9d8e6350a1b2c4"

commits

GitHubPulledCommit · object[]

The commits this call applied, oldest first. Commits Base44 pushed itself are left out, so a pull of only those comes back with an empty list.

Show child attributes

Example:

[
  {
    "author_email": "dana@example.com",

  }
]

files_summary

GitHubPulledFiles · object | null

Change counts for the pulled commits, or null when nothing was pulled.

Show child attributes

error

string | null

Why the pull didn't happen, or null when it succeeded. One of not_connected, no_installation, sync_in_progress, connection_error, merge_conflict, sandbox_sync_failed, rate_limit_exceeded, rate_limit_low, github_api_error or unexpected_error.

Example:

"merge_conflict"

error_message

string | null

Human-readable explanation of error, or null when the pull succeeded.

Example:

"Merge conflict while applying the pulled commits"

duration_ms

integer | null

How long the pull took, in milliseconds, or null when Base44 recorded no duration for it.

Example:

4120
