This is a documentation-only commit. It updates the docs for the update_file function to explain what the different parameters do and adds a hyperlink to the GitHub API docs.
I was using
octocrab
but it wasn't clear what thesha
parameter was, and why I'd need to provide a file SHA if I'm already giving the path of the file I want to update. I did some digging to figure out the reason, so I thought I'd update the docs to explain this for future travellers.
