This tool no longer works. Stop starring and watching it!

** Note: GitHub has decided to discontinue the downloads **

This is a script which can upload files to github from the commandline.

Installation

First you need to get a oauth token. The token must include either the repo or public_repo scope.

curl -X POST -u <github user>:<github password> \
  -d '{"note":"file upload script","scopes":["repo"]}' \
  https://api.github.com/authorizations

Copy the token from the response and put it into your git config file:

 git config --global github.upload-script-token <the token from the response>

Usage

github-upload.rb <file-name> [<repository>]

The repository parameter is optional. If one is not provided, if inside of a git repository, it will default to the remote named origin. If provided, the parameter should be in the format <github user>/<repo>.

Example

./github-upload.rb bin/sample-app.jar wereHamster/ghup

ghup's Issues

Integrate oauth token creation into the script

Users shouldn't have to run this cryptic curl command themselves. Ideally the script would detect that the token is missing and create it automatically.

Add optional certificate verification

I've had a problem when trying to run this if the certificate cant be verified. Now i'm not a ruby expert, but adding the following fixed it for me.

def post(url, token, params, headers)
  uri = URI.parse(url)

  http = Net::HTTP.new(uri.host, uri.port)
  http.use_ssl = true
  http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE

  req = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri.path, headers)
  req['Authorization'] = "token #{token}" if token

  return http.request(req, params)
end

Addition is the "http.verify_mode = OpenSSL::SSL::VERIFY_NONE" to disable the verification.

Uploads are corrupt

Whenever I upload a file using ghup, the resulting download is shorter than the file I uploaded.

Typo in script

There's a typo in one error message: "doens't" → "doesn't"

Adding a parameter for the file "Description"

It would be beneficial to have an additional parameter to the script for a "description" of the file.

Get github link rather than Amazon one

I would like to get a github link like this one:

https://github.com/downloads/somebody/somerepo/somefile.ext

Not like this:

https://github.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/somebody/somerepo/somefile.ext

Is it possible?

Thanks

error while uploading

Hi

i was searching for a long time for script as yours. Thank you very much for your efforts on this.

unfortnuately it does not work for me.

i get always the following error:

{"message":"Not Found"}GitHub doesn't want us to upload the file.

message not found comes from "print res.body one line before the error message itself in your script.

any ideas on this?

thx in advance

regex error when anonymous git clone

I try to use this nice script in travis-ci, and noticed there is error in regex parsing since the remote url there is
git://github.com/larrycai/sdcamp

repo = ARGV[1] || `git config --get remote.origin.url`.match(/[email protected]:(.+?)\.git/)[1]

BTW: Now I can give my repo name as input to across this.

Please give an error if Ruby < 1.9 used

At present it fails in a way that's hard to diagnose.

A very simple fix, which gives an obvious error message and has an obvious fix for most users likely to use this script, is simply to change the hash-bang line to:

!/usr/bin/env ruby1.9

Even if there's no ruby1.9 on the user's system with Ruby 1.9 installed, it's obvious what the intention is, and e.g. on my Ubuntu system, I'd just change it to ruby1.9.3.
