## Upload an attachment to the wiki repository

Uploads a file to the attachment folder inside the wiki's repository. The
 attachment folder is the `uploads` folder.

```
POST /projects/:id/wikis/attachments
```

| Attribute     | Type    | Required | Description                  |
| ------------- | ------- | -------- | ---------------------------- |
| `id`      | integer/string    | yes      | The ID or [URL-encoded path of the project](README.md#namespaced-path-encoding) |
| `file` | string | yes | The attachment to be uploaded |
| `branch` | string | no | The name of the branch. Defaults to the wiki repository default branch |

To upload a file from your filesystem, use the `--form` argument. This causes
cURL to post data using the header `Content-Type: multipart/form-data`.
The `file=` parameter must point to a file on your filesystem and be preceded
by `@`. For example:

```bash
curl --request POST --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: <your_access_token>" --form "file=@dk.png" https://gitlab.example.com/api/v4/projects/1/wikis/attachments
```

Example response:

```json
{
  "file_name" : "dk.png",
  "file_path" : "uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png",
  "branch" : "master",
  "link" : {
    "url" : "uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png",
    "markdown" : "![dk](uploads/6a061c4cf9f1c28cb22c384b4b8d4e3c/dk.png)"
  }
}
```
