Issue details

Hi, we would like to be able to push a directory to Git using this SDK. Currently we can push a single file at a time with:

const fileTask = new github.RepositoryFile(name, {
    ...,
    file: '.github/workflows/my-worflow.yml'
})

This is fine for pushing individual files, such as when configuring the repo (e.g. Dockerfiles, Readmes, workflows) but our product requires us to dynamically create github repos, and deploy a local codebase to the repo (potentially thousands of files).

Perhaps something like:

const folderTask = new github.RepositoryFolder(name, {
    ...,
    folder: './my-folder'
})

I'd be happy to implement this myself if I could be pointed in the right direction, or warned that this isn't possible.

Many thanks!

Hi @SamStenner

I need to look at the upstream provider and see if this is something they can support - if I hear back, I will post
