How to send files and folders to my repository using the API

GitHub API Development and Support
#1

Hi, I’m just getting started with the Github API and could use some help. I have a repository and I want to post new versions of my project to the repository. I’d like to know how to upload a few files, images and directories to a specific path. 

For now I want to overwrite existing files with the files I send. My development is setup one way for now and the files will be newer and if not then I’m guessing I will receive an error response. Any examples of this and pointers to documentation? Thank you!

Hello!

If I understood correctly, you already have a repository and you just want to “update” it.

Maybe this tutorial can help you: https://help.github.com/en/github/importing-your-projects-to-github/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line

I’d like to post data to my repository. I can’t call a command line. I’m looking for something like a REST client to server API. 

-curl post http://api.github.com -file index.html -directory “/repository/folder”
