"content" is mandatory for Repository files API | GitLab

You can use Commits API | GitLab if you want to make an empty commit

$headers = @{
  "PRIVATE-TOKEN" = "*****************"
}
$body = @{
  "branch" = "main"
  "commit_message" = "this is a commit"
  "actions" = ""
}
Invoke-RestMethod -Verbose -Header $headers -ContentType 'application/json' -Body ($body|ConvertTo-Json) -Method Post -Uri "https://gitlab.com/api/v4/projects/****/repository/commits"
