Ability to post Markdown files as nodes via write API (with token)

It's possible to use relative links in Github repository README files, and convert them into absolute links using the latest commit hash. Example:

Version-static README: https://github.com/OpenWaterProject/riffle_328/blob/84f5294/README.md#quick-start -- this could be an activity on Public Lab.

• raw Markdown version: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenWaterProject/riffle_328/84f5294/README.md
• static absolute image links are: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/OpenWaterProject/riffle_328/84f5294/pics/parts.jpg -- here's github's link structure. Ok how does this work with uploading folders?

So the format is:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/<github user>/<repository name>/<commit hash>/relative/path/to/image.jpg

I wonder if this could be set up with some kind of interface... open design question to explore later.

This could be done via the write API -- see https://github.com/publiclab/plots2/milestone/11 using a token from the commandline! We could potentially develop a javascript library for this kind of thing.
