Is it possible to attach a file to a GitHub Issue via the API?

Question

I would like to create a GitHub issue with an attached excel spreadsheet via the GitHub API. I can successfully create the issue, https://developer.github.com/v3/issues/ but can't find any info on how to upload a file with the API. I just need the file connected to the issue, I'm not picky if it's in the original issue post, or uploaded as a comment.

Is this possible? I figure not since I can't find docs, but wanted to check.

I saw both of those answers, the first is basically "no" but is a year old so I was hoping maybe things have changed. The second doesn't make a lot of sense, but the user seems to be uploading a file to a repo – Klansman

Answer 1

I came across this command line tool that uses the private API to do this: https://github.com/j178/github-s3

Answer 2

At this time, there is no way to do that from the GitHub API. Follow https://github.com/isaacs/github/issues/1133
