Starting a job from a commit Id

Case:

Wanting to start an execution from a particular state of files of a git based project

Resolution:

This has been tested via swagger : 

The endpoint consumed is /api/jobs/v1/jobs

There's 2 parameters which accepts a commit Id as an argument (both part of the json payload). One is through a string attribute and the other via a struct/dict. If you are using the string as per : 

"commitId": "44bc860b78d8f1d0f57e4dda69c11fb019e3546c"

It only accepts local commits, you could get those by printing out what master is pointing to or by executing commits_list() method from the dominodatalab package. These commits always point to the remote master/main branch.

But if you'd want to run it off of a different branch, other than main, then it would be done via the struct as per : 

"mainRepoGitRef": {
    "type": "commitId",
    "value": "24ba155"
  }

It accepts commit id from the git provider and also works with the shorter version of the Id.
