            Jesse Glick said there is beginnings of this in the scm-api

            No, there has never been any proposed API to write files. Sounds like a battle which should not be picked—just provide a downloadable file and ask people to commit it when ready.

            This was cloned from JENKINS-39703 jglick and the comment is from you referring to the Read API. I split this off to track the write API separately.

            As noted in JENKINS-39703, SCMFile may need to add some methods to define some new abstract type SCMFileContent which has contentAsBytes etc. but also a replace method—since GitHub does not let you overwrite a file without specifying what you are overwriting (presumably to avoid data loss with non-fast-forward merges).
