Despite this, the function fails if no `options` object is passed and throws this error:\r\n```\r\nTypeError: Cannot read property 'encode' of undefined\r\n    at Repository.writeFile (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/oauth-rule-manager/node_modules/github-api/dist/components/Repository.js:941:37)\r\n    at GitHubRuleManager.commitWorkspace (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/oauth-rule-manager/lib/rule_managers/github-rule-manager.js:143:18)\r\n    at /Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/app.js:74:25\r\n    at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5)\r\n    at next (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/route.js:137:13)\r\n    at Route.dispatch (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/route.js:112:3)\r\n    at Layer.handle [as handle_request] (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/layer.js:95:5)\r\n    at /Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:281:22\r\n    at param (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:354:14)\r\n    at param (/Users/lucasantchougov/Documents/Work/matey/matey-server/node_modules/express/lib/router/index.js:365:14)\r\n```\r\n\r\nThe error seems to get thrown when `options.encode` is read in `Repository.writeFile`. It only works for me when passing an empty object. This should be better documented or a default empty object should be instantiated in the method.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/lantchou","@type":"Person","name":"lantchou"},"datePublished":"2019-08-09T10:09:06.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/577/github/issues/577"}
