[BUG]: Unable to create file directly while using createOrUpdateTextFile

[venkatesh-kl]

What happened?

I have tried to update a file in a git repository using the below script. I have noticed that using this as a plugin works as expected. However, when trying to use it as a standalone method. I don't see any action happen. The log I see is { "response": {} } when I use the standalone block of code. I prefer to keep things simple, so I prefer the standalone apporach. Please suggest me on what's wrong or let me know if I can help if it's a bug.

import { Octokit } from "@octokit/core";
import { createOrUpdateTextFile } from "@octokit/plugin-create-or-update-text-file";
import dotenv from "dotenv";
dotenv.config();

const OWNER = "user";
const REPO = "repository-name";
const BRANCH = "main";

const COMMITTER = {
  name: "committer",
  email: "[email protected]",
};

const path = "test-file.json";
const opts = {
  owner: OWNER,
  repo: REPO,
  path,
  committer: COMMITTER,
  branch: BRANCH,
  message: `updated file:"${path}"`,
  content: JSON.stringify({ message: "hello world! how are you" }),
};

// Plugin Code - works
const MyOctokit = Octokit.plugin(createOrUpdateTextFile);
const myOctokit = new MyOctokit({ auth: process.env.GH_TOKEN });
const pluginResponse = await myOctokit.createOrUpdateTextFile(opts);
console.log(`------------ plugin response --------------`);
console.log(JSON.stringify({ response: pluginResponse }));
console.log(`--------------------------`);

// standalone - doesn't work
const octokit = new Octokit({ auth: process.env.GH_TOKEN });
const response = await createOrUpdateTextFile(myOctokit, opts);
console.log(`------------ std response --------------`);
console.log(JSON.stringify({ response: response }));
console.log(`--------------------------`);

Versions

I have just realized that the PR is raised from my personal account & issue raised from my work account. Hope it doesn't matter
