Tree and files
List project files and read their content.
Start glimpse tree before using the file browser API. Discover its port with
glimpse list; diff and tree sessions may use different ports.
List files
GET /api/tree returns HTTP 200 with repo and a files array of paths.
Outside tree mode it returns {"files":[]}.
sh
curl --fail http://localhost:5391/api/treeRead a file
GET /api/file?path=… returns HTTP 200 with path and content strings.
URL-encode the relative repository path:
sh
curl --fail --get http://localhost:5391/api/file \
--data-urlencode 'path=main.go'Missing paths or a non-tree server return 400. Unreadable files return 404. The current handler reads paths directly from the working tree without a path containment check. Only request trusted paths and do not expose the server to untrusted callers. These read handlers currently do not enforce HTTP methods.
