- `file_path` (required) - URL encoded full path to new file. Ex. lib%2Fclass%2Erb
2017-09-10 17:25:29 +05:30

2021-04-17 20:07:23 +05:30
- `encoding` (optional) - Change encoding to `base64`. Default is `text`.
2016-09-29 09:46:39 +05:30

2014-09-02 18:07:02 +05:30
If the commit fails for any reason we return a 400 error with a non-specific
error message. Possible causes for a failed commit include:
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
2014-09-02 18:07:02 +05:30
- the `file_path` contained `/../` (attempted directory traversal);
2020-04-08 14:13:33 +05:30
- the new file contents were identical to the current file contents. That is, the
2014-09-02 18:07:02 +05:30
user tried to make an empty commit;
- the branch was updated by a Git push while the file edit was in progress.
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
Currently GitLab Shell has a boolean return code, preventing GitLab from specifying the error.
