Im using PyGithub library to update files. Im facing an issue with that. Generally, we have to options. We can create a new file or if the file exists then we can update.
But the problem is, I want to create a new file it if doesn't exist. If exist the use update option.
Is this possible with PyGithub?
I followed The Otterlord's suggestion and I have achieved this. Sharing my code here, it maybe helpful to someone.
from github import Github
g = Github("username", "password")
repo = g.get_user().get_repo(GITHUB_REPO)
all_files = []
contents = repo.get_contents("")
while contents:
file_content = contents.pop(0)
if file_content.type == "dir":
contents.extend(repo.get_contents(file_content.path))
else:
file = file_content
all_files.append(str(file).replace('ContentFile(path="','').replace('")',''))
with open('/tmp/file.txt', 'r') as file:
content = file.read()
# Upload to github
git_prefix = 'folder1/'
git_file = git_prefix + 'file.txt'
if git_file in all_files:
contents = repo.get_contents(git_file)
repo.update_file(contents.path, "committing files", content, contents.sha, branch="master")
print(git_file + ' UPDATED')
else:
repo.create_file(git_file, "committing files", content, branch="master")
print(git_file + ' CREATED')
