Is there a way to attach images to github issues without drag'n'drop, copy-pasting images or jumping through various hoops - just by using a file picker?

I find drag'n'drop very inconvenient, and copy-paste does not work in Firefox (on top of being rather inconvenient as well).

Github help page only mentions drag'n'drop, or copy-paste for Chrome.

The question here on adding images lists additional methods like creating a custom repository or wiki.

All of that is enough of a pain in the ass for me to ask a question here, hoping for a hidden way to use normal file picker.

Yes there is, its very simple, but not intuitive.

Consider this example where you want to comment: enter image description here

Just click the highligted section with the text "Attach files by dragging and dropping, selecting them, ...".

Then a file dialog will open up: enter image description here

  • Oh dang, that's hidden indeed. Somebody from Github should at least mention that in the help page, if not add a small button there. Accepting the other answer as it was a bit faster, but you get an upvote :) – Richlv Jan 05 '19 at 14:01

There is a file picker. Simply click on the Attach files by dragging & dropping, selecting them, or pasting from the clipboard field. enter image description here
