+GitLab supports [form encoding](../README.md#encoding-api-parameters-of-array-and-hash-types). The following is an example using Commit API with form encoding:
+
+```bash
+curl --request POST \
+     --form "branch=master" \
+     --form "commit_message=some commit message" \
+     --form "start_branch=master" \
+     --form "actions[][action]=create" \ 
+     --form "actions[][file_path]=foo/bar" \ 
+     --form "actions[][content]=</path/to/local.file" \ 
+     --form "actions[][action]=delete" \ 
+     --form "actions[][file_path]=foo/bar2" \
