Create a resource for an organization Copilot Space

POST
/orgs/{org}/copilot-spaces/{space_number}/resources

Creates a new resource in a specific Copilot Space owned by an organization. The authenticated user must have write permissions on the space.

The following resource types are supported: repository, github_file, free_text, github_issue, github_pull_request. The uploaded_text_file and media_content types are not supported via this endpoint.

For github_file resources, if a resource with the same repository, file path, and SHA already exists, the existing resource is returned with a 200 status.

OAuth app tokens and personal access tokens (classic) need the write:org scope to use this endpoint.

Fine-grained tokens and GitHub App user access tokens must have been granted access to the organization that owns the space. They must also have been granted access to every repository referenced by resources in the space, including the resource being created.
