NAME

Pithub::GitData::Blobs - Github v3 Git Data Blobs API

VERSION

DESCRIPTION

Since blobs can be any arbitrary binary data, the input and responses for the blob api takes an encoding parameter that can be either "utf-8" or "base64". If your data cannot be losslessly sent as a UTF-8 string, you can base64 encode it.
