How can I PUT some files/directories into a github repository?

[elect86]

As titled, I have some files which I'd like to upload into a github repository and I'd like to do that without having the project cloned locally.

I think I could manually dig myself into using curl as docs specifies here

However, I'd like to use some comfortable, such this library, if possible, but I havent figure it out yet how.

I guess GHContent may be relevant for my case, but I don't see any way I can set the path for example..

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Here's an example based on this test :

GHRepository ghRepository; // get your repo
GHContentBuilder ghContentBuilder = ghRepository.createContent()
    .message("Some commit msg"
    .path("some-path/to/where-you-want/yourFile.md")
    .content("yourContent")
    .commit();

Is there a possibility to upload binary files as well?

I think this will do that:

github-api/src/main/java/org/kohsuke/github/GHContentBuilder.java

Lines 70 to 73 in 3f99541

	public GHContentBuilder content(byte[] content) {
	req.with("content", Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(content));
	return this;
	}

Pass a byte[] to content()

Nice.

However what I'm really aiming to is uploading multiple files and commit once

Can Hub4j deal with blobs and trees, like here?

Doesn't this

GHRepository ghRepository; // get your repo

Require the repository cloned?

No. It is a REST call. For example:

GHRepository ghRepository = gitHub.getRepository("hub4j/github-api");
