Method GetContents

github/repos_contents.go:218–248

GetContents can return either the metadata and content of a single file (when path references a file) or the metadata of all the files and/or subdirectories of a directory (when path references a directory). To make it easy to distinguish between both result types and to mimic the API as much as pos
