The Github Git Provider handles saving and deleting content to GitHub. It can be used as a prop to the createDatabase function.

Adding the GitHub Git Provider

import { GithubProvider } from 'tinacms-gitprovider-github'
// database.{ts,js}
//...

export default isLocal ? createLocalDatabase() ? createDatabase({
    gitProvider: new GitHubProvider({
        branch: process.env.GITHUB_BRANCH,
        owner: process.env.GITHUB_OWNER,
        repo: process.env.GITHUB_REPO,
        token: process.env.GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN,
      }),,
    // ...
})
