Publishing 20 files at once with no GitHub token

Description and use

Automated GitHub file uploader via web UI that commits up to 20 files at once without a token.

Problem

Need to update 20+ files in a GitHub repo without a personal access token, SSH key, or gh CLI, and creating a token requires sudo mode.

Outcome

Uploaded 20 files in one commit in ~90 s, versus 20 separate commits each ~90 s.

Workflow

• Navigate to /{owner}/{repo}/upload/main
• Use CDP to locate hidden <input type="file">
• Set file paths via DOM.setFileInputFiles
• Click first "Commit changes" button
• Locate second "Commit changes" button and click it
• Confirm upload

Evidence

GitHub's web UI has an upload page at /{owner}/{repo}/upload/main that accepts multiple files at once and commits them in a single commit.

Source

20 files, one commit, about 90 seconds — versus 20 separate edit-and-commit cycles at roughly 90 seconds each.

Source

There is a file-count ceiling: 45 files causes page crash.

Source

Clicking "Commit changes" opens a dialog with another "Commit changes" button. A single click commits nothing and the page just sits there.
