Not sure if this was maybe just a network issue but got this for a new branch i created and submited, opening a new tab and doing it again worked.

I don't think this code has fundamentally changed and the url https://api.github.com/repos/Disservin/Stockfish/commits/test-big-net currently works fine.

Did you quickly create the test after creating the branch? I have the impression that it sometimes takes a small amount of time for changes on a github repo to propagate.

If there are more reports like this then we can try to get a bit more information by looking at the returned body.

curl https://api.github.com/repos/Disservin/Stockfish/commits/test-big-ne
{
  "message": "No commit found for SHA: test-big-ne",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/commits/commits#get-a-commit",
  "status": "422"
}

Yeah I think maybe GitHub lagged a bit behind so might not be a fishtest issue after all
