Hey, i'm having a hard time to understand how to provide a branch name to the github task. The doc is mentionning the

ref

parameter but it is refering to a "SHA-1 value, tag, or branch name". Where can i find this SHA1 value of a given branchname ?

The

commit-sha

,

tag

and

branch name

should all be interchangeable as far as github api is concerned. Just give the name of the branch and it should resolve successfully to the underlying commit sha. To find the commit sha, run

git log

while you are checked out to your branch. The entry at the top is yout commit sha. Should have something like

(HEAD -> your_branch_name)

next to it, to identify that your branch currently refers to that specific commit.

i already tried to provide the branch name but it doesn't seems to work. Maybe i'm doing it wrong. I have this error message

"No commit found for SHA: {'dev'}"

which github task are we talking about 😅

oh yeah sorry, i'm talking about the storage one

weird, I can run the part where the branch name is used.

must come from me then... You just provide the branchname as a string ?

are you somehow passing

'dev'

within a python set?, the error including curly braces seems weird.

yeah i find it weird too. I'm passing it like this:

BRANCH = "dev"

with Flow(FLOW_NAME,
        storage=set_storage(BRANCH),
        run_config=set_run_config()) as flow:

yeah:

gg = GitHub(repo="PrefectHQ/prefect", path="/", ref="master")

with Flow("abcdef", storage=gg) as f:
    ab()

gg.add_flow(f)

gg.get_flow("abcdef")

with set_storage being:

def set_storage(branch: str) -> GitHub:
    return GitHub(
        repo=f"my/repo",
        path=f"my/path.py",
        ref=branch,
        access_token_secret="GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    )

code seems correct, I can think of two issues: 1- dev really doesn't exist 😅 2- your access token isn't authorized to read dev

yeah i thought about issue 2 but i did add permissions to read and write org repo/project (this is an org repo)

your

set_storage

call receives 2 inputs, but the implementation expects one. Probably happened while you are changing your code for slack, but maybe we lost the erroneous bit in translation? could you double check?

yes sorry for slack purpose i deleted the second param. I edited the call to match

yeah im stumped, im pretty sure github storage works with branch names though

yeah no worries, i'll see with the org owner because there are authorization for the personnal access token to get if the org uses saml authentication.

that makes sense, thanks so much for the update

ooh i didn't know about that ! thanks
