Check if the repository has no branches -
Method : GET
Endpoint : https://api.github.com/repos/{repoOwner}/{repoName}/branches
this returns an array of branch details .e.g:
{ "name": "main", "commit": { "commit": { "sha": "....", "URL": "..." }, "protected": false }, { "name": "v-2.0.0", "commit": { "sha": "....", "URL": "..." }, "protected": false } ] If there are no branches then it returns an empty array - []
Additionally, you can get the repository list using
Method: GET
Endpoint : https://api.github.com/users/{username}/repos
