Editing files in your repository

Tip

If a repository has any protected branches, you can't edit or upload files in the protected branch using GitHub. You can use GitHub Desktop to move your changes to a new branch and commit them. For more information, see About protected branches and Committing and reviewing changes to your project in GitHub Desktop.

Note

GitHub Enterprise Server's file editor uses CodeMirror.

  1. In your repository, browse to the file you want to edit.

  2. In the upper right corner of the file view, click to open the file editor.

  5. In the "Commit message" field, type a short, meaningful commit message that describes the change you made to the file. You can attribute the commit to more than one author in the commit message. For more information, see Creating a commit with multiple authors.

  6. Below the commit message fields, decide whether to add your commit to the current branch or to a new branch. If your current branch is the default branch, you should choose to create a new branch for your commit and then create a pull request. For more information, see Creating a pull request.
