Defaults to the commit of the latest successful deployment so you read exactly the code that is deployed. Binary files and files larger than 1 MB return metadata only with a null `content` (check `is_binary` and `truncated`). Returns 404 when the file does not exist at the ref. Static sites always have a `privateGit` or `publicGit` source; the 422 response only occurs if the repository URL is missing. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.sevalla.com/v3/openapi.json get /static-sites/{id}/repository/contents openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Sevalla API docs version: 1.0.0 servers: - url: https://api.sevalla.com/v3 security: - bearerAuth: [] paths: /static-sites/{id}/repository/contents: get: tags: - Static sites summary: Read static site repository file description: >- Read the contents of a single file from the static site Git repository at a given ref.
