Why do the changes to "Puppetfile" need to be pushed to your github?
Just test it locally and then push it and pull-request a commit which doesn't have those changes in it.

Hi Jake,
  Actually, once I run r10k, it will grab the Puppetfile from each branch from the remote repository to create Puppet environments (per git branch) and deploy other remote repositories.
  This file is mandatory on the repository.
