# Commits

### Reference

- v4 API:

  - `gitlab.v4.objects.ProjectCommit`

  - `gitlab.v4.objects.ProjectCommitManager`

  - `gitlab.v4.objects.Project.commits`

### Examples

List the commits for a project:

    commits = project.commits.list()

You can use the `ref_name`, `since` and `until` filters to limit the results:

    commits = project.commits.list(ref_name='my_branch')
    commits = project.commits.list(since='2016-01-01T00:00:00Z')

Note

The available `all` listing argument conflicts with the python-gitlab argument. Use `query_parameters` to avoid the conflict:

    commits = project.commits.list(all=True,
                                   query_parameters={'ref_name': 'my_branch'})

Create a commit:

    # See https://docs.gitlab.com/ce/api/commits.html#create-a-commit-with-multiple-files-and-actions
    # for actions detail
    data = {
        'branch': 'master',
        'commit_message': 'blah blah blah',
        'actions': [
            {
                'action': 'create',
                'file_path': 'README.rst',
                'content': open('path/to/file.rst').read(),
            },
            {
                # Binary files need to be base64 encoded
                'action': 'create',
                'file_path': 'logo.png',
                'content': base64.b64encode(open('logo.png').read()),
                'encoding': 'base64',
            }
        ]
    }

    commit = project.commits.create(data)

Get a commit detail:

    commit = project.commits.get('e3d5a71b')

Get the diff for a commit:

    diff = commit.diff()

Cherry-pick a commit into another branch:

    commit.cherry_pick(branch='target_branch')

Revert a commit on a given branch:

    commit.revert(branch='target_branch')

Get the references the commit has been pushed to (branches and tags):

    commit.refs()  # all references
    commit.refs('tag')  # only tags
    commit.refs('branch')  # only branches

Get the signature of the commit (if the commit was signed, e.g. with GPG or x509):

    commit.signature()

List the merge requests related to a commit:

    commit.merge_requests()

## Commit comments

                                     'line': 12,
                                     'line_type': 'new',
