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 the release then upload any files in the release directory. Optionally, you can pass the branch to tag the release from, as well as a name for the release.

See this project's Makefile for a full 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 tag created for the release.
