Jenkins Job to upload a parameter file to GitHub

Question

the idea of this jenkins job is that it will receive a file as parameter and then this file must be push to github

This is the Jenkins Pipeline a have at the momento

pipeline {
    agent {
         label 'linux'
        }
    parameters {
         file(
             name:'file.yml', 
             description:'YAML file'
            )
    }
        
    stages {
        stage('github clone'){
            steps {
         git url: 'https://token@github.com/user/repo.git', branch: 'branch_name'
            }
        }
        stage('push'){
            steps {
                    sh 'git add folder/folder/${file.yml}'
                    sh 'git commit -m "upload new file" '
                    sh 'git push origin branch_name
            }
        }
  
    }
}

and is given me this error

[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (push)

I already look this questions

Git push using jenkins credentials from declarative pipeline Is it possible to Git merge / push using Jenkins pipeline

What I'm expecting from the job is to upload the file successfully to github

Right now it fail at the beginning

I think something like this should do the work

pipeline {
    agent {
         label 'linux'
        }
    parameters {
         file(
             name:'file.yml', 
             description:'YAML file'
            )
    }
        
    stages {
        stage('github clone'){
            steps {
                sh """
                    git clone --branch branch_name https://token@github.com/user/repo.git
                """
            }
        }
        stage('push'){
            steps {
                sh """
                    git add folder/folder/${file.yml}
                    git commit -m "upload new file"
                    git push https://token@github.com/user/repo.git HEAD:branch_name
                """
            }
        }
  
    }
}

I found a solution, first I download the file parameter plugin and made some changes in the stages. This is the final result

pipeline {
agent {
     label 'linux'
    }
parameters {
    base64File 'File'
}
 stages {
    stage('github clone'){
        steps {
             git url: 'https://token@github.com/user/repo.git', branch: 'branch_name'
        }
    }
    stage('push yaml to github'){
        steps {
            withFileParameter('File') {
             sh '''
             cd /home/jenkins/workspace/branch_name/folder/folder
             cat ${File}
             cp ${File} new_file.yml 
             git add .
             git commit -m "upload new file"
             git push origin branch_name
            '''        
           }
        }
     }
   }
}
