Bulk file upload to GitHub via REST API

# Bulk file upload to GitHub via REST API, bypassing n8n´s limitations

This automation template enables bulk updating of multiple files in a GitHub repository using REST API within n8n — overcoming the limitation of the built-in GitHub node that supports only single-file operations.
