Using getRepositoryFile

Two invocation forms are available. The direct form accepts plain arguments and either blocks until the result value is available, or returns a Promise-wrapped result. The output form accepts Input-wrapped arguments and returns an Output-wrapped result.

function getRepositoryFile(args: GetRepositoryFileArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Promise<GetRepositoryFileResult>
function getRepositoryFileOutput(args: GetRepositoryFileOutputArgs, opts?: InvokeOptions): Output<GetRepositoryFileResult>

def get_repository_file(branch: Optional[str] = None,
                        file: Optional[str] = None,
                        repository: Optional[str] = None,
                        opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> GetRepositoryFileResult
def get_repository_file_output(branch: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                        file: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                        repository: Optional[pulumi.Input[str]] = None,
                        opts: Optional[InvokeOptions] = None) -> Output[GetRepositoryFileResult]

func LookupRepositoryFile(ctx *Context, args *LookupRepositoryFileArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) (*LookupRepositoryFileResult, error)
func LookupRepositoryFileOutput(ctx *Context, args *LookupRepositoryFileOutputArgs, opts ...InvokeOption) LookupRepositoryFileResultOutput

> Note: This function is named LookupRepositoryFile in the Go SDK.

The following arguments are supported:

File string: The path of the file to read.
Repository string: The repository to read the file from. If an unqualified repo name (without an owner) is passed, the owner will be inferred from the owner of the token used to execute the plan. If a name of the type "owner/repo" (with a slash in the middle) is passed, the owner will be as specified and not the owner of the token.
Branch string: Git branch. Defaults to the repository's default branch.
