github.code.get_tree

List a repository's file tree at a ref (recursive, path-filtered)

List the file tree of a GitHub repository at a given ref (recursive).

Wraps the Git Trees API (GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees/{ref}?recursive=1). ref may be a branch name, tag name, or commit/tree SHA — GitHub resolves it to that revision's tree. Optionally narrows the result to entries under a path prefix (e.g. "k8s/prod"), which is how GitOps reads just the manifests directory of a repo.

Returns blob entries (files) with the blob SHA needed to fetch raw content via github.code.get_blob. Directory ("tree") entries are filtered out by default.

Inputs:

• owner: Repository owner (required).
• repo: Repository name (required).
• ref: Branch, tag, or commit/tree SHA (required).
• path: Path prefix to filter to, e.g. "k8s/prod" (optional; repo root = "").
• include_trees: Include directory entries too (optional, default False).

Outputs (terminal state_data):

• entries: list of {path, sha, mode, type, size} — blobs (and trees if asked).
• truncated: bool — True if GitHub truncated the listing (very large repos).
• tree_sha: str — the resolved tree SHA the listing came from.

Plugin required: github auth via installation_bearer (see _auth.py).
