How to append a file using Pygithub-CodePudding

I want to write to a already existing .txt file using PyGithub package in python. I have tried this code

git = Github(TOKEN)
repo = git.get_repo("Repository")
file = repo.get_contents("Textfile.txt", ref="Ref")

repo.update_file(file.path, "test", "Text I wanna store", file.sha, branch="Ref")

but this code deletes the old data and only store this data i.e. "Text I wanna store" only

I wanna store this data in continuation with previously store date like "Previous Data Text I wanna store"

and sorry for bad english

CodePudding user response：

Your code is above is already good, you simply need to take the original Content of the File, and append new one with a operator or an f-string

Here is an example

git = Github(TOKEN)
repo = git.get_repo("Repository")
file = repo.get_contents("Textfile.txt", ref="Ref")
new_data = input("Text you want to add")
update_file(file.path, "NEW COMMIT", f"{file} {new_data}", file.sha,branch="Ref")
