POST /groups/:id/wikis/attachments
```

| Attribute     | Type           | Required | Description                                                                   |
| ------------- | -------        | -------- | ----------------------------                                                  |
| `id`          | integer/string | yes      | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the group](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |

| `branch`      | string         | no       | The name of the branch. Defaults to the wiki repository default branch        |

To upload a file from your filesystem, use the `--form` argument. This causes
cURL to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`.
The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your filesystem and be preceded
by `@`. For example:

```shell
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "file=@dk.png" "https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/groups/1/wikis/attachments"
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "file_name" : "dk.png",
  "file_path" : "uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png",
  "branch" : "master",
  "link" : {
    "url" : "uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png",
    "markdown" : "![dk](uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png)"
  }
}
```
