Can I upload a document to an Issue in github?

Question

I have a document that I would like to reference from a github issue, but there is not a way to upload it. Any ideas?

Answer 1

You can't currently attach files to github issues.

Update:

As of 2012-12-07, images can be attached to issues via drag-and-drop.

Just drag the image into the text field for the issue.

Answer 2

ZenHub.io Chrome plug-in will enable you to add any type of file to a github issue. It's stored on their server instead of github.com. From their website...

GitHub only allows you to upload image files. ZenHub adds the ability to upload any type of file into issues and comments, transferring securely to Amazon S3. With this you can really take your workflow to the next level; try using GitHub for everything! Centralized collaboration and transparency are awesome.

Update:

As of 11/03/2015 you can now upload these types of files to github without any extension or plug-in: PNG, GIF, JPG, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, or PDF

Answer 3

If you have an account in github, then you can upload your document in Github's own Gist service: gist.github.com

After add the link in a comment of issue.

I think this will help you
