Back in February, GitHub announced that it is now possible to drag and drop files into the repositories:

Blog here: https://github.com/blog/2105-upload-files-to-your-repositories Help page here: https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-file-to-a-repository/

  1. Update fork
  2. Create new branch
  3. Drag and drop your files + commit on GitHub
  4. Pull request

A few things that might make this confusing:

Are you sure this contains the details for eb7c52a10a489ced597f541feee39d4cd65a4dea, or did you mean to reference a different issue?

It turns out that updating a branch created on github in git2r is really easy :open_mouth::

fetch(repo, "origin")
checkout(repo, "newbranch")

This would be the process used when the user wants to make changes on his/her computer.
