POST /api/v1/repos/{repoID}/sync forces an immediate refresh of one repo. It is
the manual complement to the webhook and interval refreshes, and the primary way
to pull remote changes on a local server that GitHub cannot reach with a webhook
(webhooks are server-mode only; locally the fsnotify watcher covers local edits
and this covers on-demand remote pulls).
The refresh path is safety-aware:
- Managed mirror: synchronous mirror-fetch + rebuild (detached HEAD, safe).
- Local -cwd working repo: re-read on-disk refs only, never mirror-fetch — that
would detach the operator working tree HEAD (safety-invariants.md).
The route is session-gated like submit and refused on a public read-only server,
so it is never an anonymous fetch trigger; on a local auth-disabled server it
stays reachable.
