DEPRECATED -- Utility for automating Github releases with file uploads

gh-release

Utility for creating, deleting, and uploading files to Github Releases.

Getting gh-release

Download and uncompress the appropriate binary from releases.

Using gh-release

You need to have a Github personal access token defined in your environment as GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN.

$ gh-release 
Usage: gh-release create|destroy <reponame> <version> [branch] [name]

Creating a release with assets

Put any assets you want to upload with your release into a release directory. Then call gh-release. Here is an example:

$ gh-release create progrium/gh-release 1.0.0

This will create a tagged release v1.0.0 then upload any files found in the ./release directory. Optional arguments you can pass include the branch to tag the release from and a name for the release.

See this project's Makefile for a real example of using it in a Makefile.

Destroying a release

You can destroy a release by the version number you used to create the release:

$ gh-release destroy progrium/gh-release 1.0.0

This destroys the release and its assets, as well as the v1.0.0 tag created for the release.

gh-release's Issues

Make repo as deprecated/not working

Hi,

it appears like eveything here became outdated. The go app fails silently because it can't find some upload url, the bash script doesn't call main and calls a undefined 'upload-url' function. All in all this looks completely broken. That's fine but please mark it that way so other won't spend time debugging this

Panic on slice bounds

I have an executable in the release/ folder, the release seems to get created and a tag created too, but no files are actually uploaded against the release.

panic: runtime error: slice bounds out of range

Fails to run in Fedora with syntax error in /tmp/bashenv.* file

Hi,

gh-release version 2.2.1 is failing in Fedora 25 with some syntax error on bash:

budhram@dhcp35-83:/tmp ] $ ./gh-release
/tmp/bashenv.668511317: line 83: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/tmp/bashenv.668511317: line 83: `export BASH_FUNC_module()=$'() {  eval `/usr/bin/modulecmd bash $*`'
/home/budhram/.basher/bash: main: command not found

My bash version:

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.3.43(1)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

Any idea why I am getting this error?

should fail if release dir is empty

can't destroy release

!! json: cannot unmarshal object into Go value of type []map[string]interface {}

Asset uploads broken

Gets back:

{"message":"Invalid name for request","request_id":"..."}

URL trying to upload to is:

https://uploads.github.com/repos/fabric8io/gofabric8/releases/1808573/assets?name,label=<SNIP>

Looks like a change on the github API side when returning upload URLs.

can you add the ability to mark as a pre-release?

Also is there a way to upload say a CHANGELOG.md as the release description?
