Linkified version: https://github.com/xxhomey19/github-uploader. So I think this is pretty cool, because I do this same thing all the time to upload images in a pinch, especially for images/files to be used within a readme. Instead of using a fake account, hardcoding the password, and using a headless browser to do your bidding—why not just use the API endpoint GitHub is actually using to upload the files? Then you could let users use their own GitHub tokens.

Upload attachments to GitHub in CLI

The easiest way to get public URL to your files. Every time I need a public and free URL to host my images, I always open an issue on GitHub and drag some files into the textarea, then I finally got some public URLs. Just like another CLI tool nba-go I built three weeks before. Watching NBA and getting a free URL are both so annoying to me. Therefore, I built this simple CLI tool to do all of those uploading stuff automatically. Hope you guys like it. GitHub repo: https://github.com/xxhomey19/github-uploader
