Research direction
Read the linked GitHub API documentation and the node-github toolkit first, focusing on repository file uploads and authentication. Done means providing a simple Node.js example that uploads one text file to a GitHub repository.

Description
Short version
I'm looking for simple JavaScript example code to upload a single text file to a GitHub repository from a Node.js app.
Background
Andrew Shell had an interesting idea -- mirror my blog posts to a GitHub repository.
I like it because it provides an easy to manage archive, and takes care of distribution of updates.
I looked at the API and the JavaScript toolkits and how authentication works, and there are a lot of pieces to understand to get what I imagine will ultimately be a very small piece of code.
So I thought I'd ask if anyone has such code?
Of course I will re-share whatever I end up using.
