Thanks for opening this issue. A GitHub docs team member should be by to give feedback soon. In the meantime, please check out the contributing guidelines.

@flavioheleno Thanks so much for opening an issue! I'll triage this for the team to take a look 👀

Thanks for reporting this! It looks like this needs to be fixed in the GitHub UI instead of in the docs, so I'm going to close this issue and open an internal issue for the owning team.

Almost a year later, this issue still exists. The "Single File" section exists in the GitHub App permissions UI, and there's no matching documentation.

Is this something we should try perusing the REST API for more details on?

@aph3rson Thank you for the heads up! 💛 I'll try to rundown some input from the team on what the next best steps would be.

@aph3rson I've nudged the owning team regarding the issue that was opened internally. Having the owning team resolve this directly is the best path forward 💛

I was just about to report this, but I see it was already reported a year ago.

While this is pending resolution in the UI, can someone provide a description of this permission here?

@skedwards88 @nguyenalex836 Given that this hasn't actually been resolved, could this issue at-least be reopened while we wait for the appropriate team to come own this?

@aph3rson Hello! 👋 As this issue currently lives in the GitHub Docs repo, keeping this issue open wouldn't contribute effectively toward getting this resolved.

While we've nudged the owning team regarding this issue, you or anyone else is welcome to open a community discussion post in https://github.com/github/feedback/discussions 💛
