Path: Pando API › monorepos `POST /v1/monorepos` ## Authentication Requires one of the following: - `credential`, http, header `Authorization` - `session`, apiKey, in cookie ## Request body _Required._ - `createMonorepo.name` (string, required) — A monorepo name, unique within its owner: lower-case letters, digits, `.`, `_`, `-`; starts with a letter or digit; no `--`; at most 39 characters. Input in any case is lowered. Reserved, because /{owner}/{name} would be one of Pando's own pages: sessions (a person's recorded agent sessions). Creating or renaming to one answers 400 `reserved_name`. - pattern `^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9._]|-(?!-)){0,38}$` - `createMonorepo.owner` (string, optional) — The namespace: your own login (the default), or an organization you are in (any member may). Else 403 `not_your_namespace`. In an org, the creator also gets their own owner row, so they can rename or delete what they made. - pattern `^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9]|-(?=[a-z0-9])){0,38}$` - `createMonorepo.kind` (string, optional) — `monorepo`: Pando also makes the meta layer's Artifacts repo (`--meta`, empty); add code repos with createRepo. `repo`: a plain git repo; Pando makes its one repo (path `.`, name = the monorepo's name) and returns it in `repos`. - one of `"monorepo"`, `"repo"`; default `"monorepo"` ## Example request ```json { "name": "string", "owner": "string", "kind": "monorepo" } ``` ## Code samples ### cURL ```curl curl --request POST \ --url https://app.gitpando.com/v1/monorepos \ --header 'Authorization: Bearer ' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data ' { "name": "string", "owner": "string", "kind": "monorepo" } ' ``` ### TypeScript ```typescript const url = 'https://app.gitpando.com/v1/monorepos'; const options = { method: 'POST', headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json', Authorization: 'Bearer '}, body: JSON.stringify({name: 'string', owner: 'string', kind: 'monorepo'}) }; fetch(url, options) .then(res => res.json()) .then(json => console.log(json)) .catch(err => console.error(err)); ``` ### Python ```python import requests url = "https://app.gitpando.com/v1/monorepos" payload = { "name": "string", "owner": "string", "kind": "monorepo" } headers = { "Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Bearer " } response = requests.post(url, json=payload, headers=headers) print(response.text) ``` ## Responses ### 201 Created #### Example ```json { "monorepo": { "id": "string", "owner": "string", "name": "string", "full_name": "string", "kind": "monorepo", "created_at": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z", "role": "owner", "owner_type": "user" }, "repos": [ { "monorepo": "string", "name": "string", "path": "string", "description": "string", "default_branch": "string", "clone_url": "string", "required_checks": [ "string" ], "checks_unknown": "string", "releases_public": true, "created_at": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z", "created_by": "string" } ], "replaced_alias": { "full_name": "string", "pointed_to": "string" } } ``` - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo` (object, required) - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.id` (string, required) — Permanent: `m_` and 16 hex characters, or, for a monorepo made before namespaces, its old name. - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.owner` (string, required) — A user's login, which is their namespace, or an organization's (one space for both): 1 to 39 lower-case letters, digits and single hyphens, no hyphen at either end (input in any case is lowered). Reserved, because a namespace is the first URL segment: v1, healthz, login, logout, settings, assets, fonts, new, api, app, static, orgs, users, docs, install. A login made at sign-in comes from the email's local part, skipping reserved and taken names (`base`, `base-2`, ... `base-999`, then a random tail). - pattern `^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9]|-(?=[a-z0-9])){0,38}$` - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.name` (string, required) — A monorepo name, unique within its owner: lower-case letters, digits, `.`, `_`, `-`; starts with a letter or digit; no `--`; at most 39 characters. Input in any case is lowered. Reserved, because /{owner}/{name} would be one of Pando's own pages: sessions (a person's recorded agent sessions). Creating or renaming to one answers 400 `reserved_name`. - pattern `^[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9._]|-(?!-)){0,38}$` - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.full_name` (string, required) — `owner/name`. - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.kind` (string, required) - one of `"monorepo"`, `"repo"` - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.created_at` (string, required) - format `date-time` - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.role` (string, required) — The caller's: the higher of their own row and, in an org's monorepo, their org role. - one of `"owner"`, `"member"` - `createMonorepo.response.201.monorepo.owner_type` (string, required) — Whose namespace `owner` is: a person's or an organization's. - one of `"user"`, `"org"` - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos` (array, required) — The plain repo for kind `repo`; empty for kind `monorepo`. - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.monorepo` (string, required) — The monorepo's `owner/name`. - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.name` (string, required) — The repo's id in URLs (its path with `/` turned into `-`). - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.path` (string, required) — `projects/web`, or `.` for a plain repo. - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.default_branch` (string, required) — Always `main` for now. - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.clone_url` (string, required) — The git door URL: `https://///.git`, or `https:////.git` for a plain repo. - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.created_at` (string, required) - format `date-time` - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.description` (string | null, optional) - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.required_checks` (array | null, optional) — Read from `.pando/pando.toml` on main when the repo is fetched one at a time (getRepo); left out of lists.

On, the project's release files download without signing in; never its code. - `createMonorepo.response.201.repos.created_by` (string, optional) - `createMonorepo.response.201.replaced_alias` (object | null, required) — An old `owner/name` (from a rename or transfer) that led to another monorepo and now leads to this one. Null when nothing was taken over. Never silent. - `createMonorepo.response.201.replaced_alias.full_name` (string, required) — The old name, now this monorepo's. - `createMonorepo.response.201.replaced_alias.pointed_to` (string | null, required) — The `owner/name` it led to before. ### 401 An error #### Example ```json { "error": { "code": "string", "message": "string", "paths": [ "string" ], "checks": { "sha": "string", "state": "success", "required": [ "string" ], "checks_unknown": "string", "missing": [ "string" ], "statuses": [ { "sha": "string", "context": "string", "state": "pending", "target_url": "string", "description": "string", "creator": "string", "app": "string", "created_at": "2019-08-24T14:15:22Z" } ] } } } ``` - `createMonorepo.response.401.error` (object, required) - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.code` (string, required) - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.message` (string, required) - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.paths` (array, optional) - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.checks` (object, optional) — GitHub's combined status, plus the required contexts and which are missing. - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.checks.sha` (string | null, required) - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.checks.state` (string, required) — `success` when the merge gate passes; `missing` when a required context has not reported; `unknown` while the required checks are (an unforced merge is refused). - one of `"success"`, `"pending"`, `"failure"`, `"error"`, `"missing"`, `"unknown"` - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.checks.required` (array | null, required) — Null while unknown. - `createMonorepo.response.401.error.checks.checks_unknown` (string | null, required) — Why the required checks are unknown, in plain words: "Pando couldn't read this monorepo's required checks; try again", or "pando.toml line 3: expected comma or end of structure; fix it on main, or merge with force".
