## Create blobs from files relative to workdir
writeLines("Hello, world!", file.path(path, "example-1.txt"))
writeLines("test content", file.path(path, "example-2.txt"))
blob_list_1 <- blob_create(repo, c("example-1.txt",
                                   "example-2.txt"))

## Create blobs from files not relative to workdir
temp_file_1 <- tempfile()
temp_file_2 <- tempfile()
