@HowardWolosky realized that this is needed for my other PRs (merging branches, updating refs). Would we be okay to get them merged and I can add test cases when I add this feature. Or would we want to push this in first?

[HowardWolosky]

@Shazwazza just added the Get contents method. They were interested in adding the create/update method next. @raghav710, were you looking to do this yourself, or were you just trying to track the need for it?

[raghav710]

@HowardWolosky that's great to know. I'm happy if @Shazwazza can take up create/update as well.

I just needed Content related APIs for writing the tests for my PRs and not especially wanting to do it by myself 👍

Hope you are fine. Stay safe 👍

Regarding the uploading part, I'm able to upload file (zip, rar, exe, pS1, txt, pdf ...) on github using the below code:

$File_To_Upload = Read-Host "Type the path of the file to upload"
$Get_File_Name = (Get-ChildItem $File_To_Upload).name
$Encoded_File = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.IO.File]::ReadAllBytes("$File_To_Uplo

{
"message": "",
"content": "$Encoded_File"
}
"@

Invoke-GHRestMethod -UriFragment "https://api.github.com/repos/$owner/$repositoryname/contents/$Get_File_Name" -Method PUT -Body $MyFile_JSON

Bumping this up to see if anyone is actively working on this. Two of the existing tests in GitHubContents.tests.ps1 are currently brittle because they start to fail anytime GitHub changes the default HTML presentation of their README.md file:
Context 'For getting html (byte) file contents' and Context 'For getting html (string) file contents'

@HowardWolosky I'm not working on this currently. But I can take this up after my existing PRs are done, if no one takes it up by then

[Shazwazza]

Hi all, I don't have a whole lot of time at the moment so would be great if you could pick it up if you've got the time. I'll check back in a couple weeks when I hopefully have some extra time and see what the status is.
