Create or update GitHub repository file

github.createOrUpdateRepositoryFile creates a file or replaces an existing file through GitHub’s Contents API.

automations/update-github-file.automation.ts

import { automation } from "automate.ax"
import { github } from "automate.ax/github"

export default automation("Update GitHub config", () => {
  github.createOrUpdateRepositoryFile({
    branch: "main",
    commitMessage: "Update deployment config",
    contentBase64: "eyJlbmFibGVkIjp0cnVlfQ==",
    owner: "SentsCo",
    path: "deployment.json",
    repository: "automate.ax",
  })
})

Provide the repository, path, Base64-encoded contentBase64, and commitMessage. Add the existing blob sha when replacing a file. Optional branch defaults to the default branch; author and committer accept { name, email }. Returns the commit sha and the content path and sha. Requires Contents write permission. This action rejects paths under .github/workflows/. Use github.createOrUpdateWorkflowFile for workflow files so Automate.ax requests GitHub’s additional Workflows write permission only when GitHub requires it.
