List check runs for a Git reference

Lists check runs for a commit ref. The ref can be a SHA, branch name, or a tag name.

[!NOTE] The endpoints to manage checks only look for pushes in the repository where the check suite or check run were created. Pushes to a branch in a forked repository are not detected and return an empty pull_requests array.

If there are more than 1000 check suites on a single git reference, this endpoint will limit check runs to the 1000 most recent check suites. To iterate over all possible check runs, use the List check suites for a Git reference endpoint and provide the check_suite_id parameter to the List check runs in a check suite endpoint.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the repo scope to use this endpoint on a private repository.
