Description

Here are two things that I want to do:

  • Edit existing file. (For eg: update the version in package.json)
  • Create a PR with that update

First steps

  1. Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
  2. Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
  3. Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

Start by checking PyGithub's existing repository and pull-request API entry points for editing a remote file and creating a PR. Compare the available operations with the two requested workflows, then verify completion by covering both the file update and PR creation paths with the repository's existing tests.
