Describe the need
The resource github_repository_file does not currently support automatic branch creation. For example, a potential use case is rather than directly writing changes to a long lived branch such as master/main writing to a short lived ephemeral branch to ultimately be reviewed and merged via a pull request.
It's not possible to do this gracefully without supporting automatic branch creation given if we leveraged the github_branch resource, terraform would continue to recreate the branch after it's deleted in Github (either on deletion of stale branches, or immediate deletion of the branch following a merged pull request).
