Get Repository Branches

About​

  • The getRepositoryBranchList function, an Express.js route handler, fetches and communicates a GitHub repository's branch list for a specified user. It verifies the user's existence, throwing a UserNotFoundError if not found, and fetches the repository document. Utilizing the getRepositoryBranches function, it retrieves the branch list, handling a FailedToGetRepoistoryBranchs error if unsuccessful. The function then updates the repository document with branch details and responds with a JSON object containing the branch information. Robust error handling caters to user absence or branch retrieval failure, providing specific error responses for each case, ensuring a smooth user experience.
