How do I download release artifacts from a GitHub enterprise repository using wget/curl?-CodePudding

I am working on a repository in GitHub enterprise; I have created a 1.0.0 release for my project, mycoolrepo.

How can I download the release zip artifact with curl or wget?

CodePudding user response：

/repos/{owner}/{repo}/tarball/{ref}

First of all, create a GitHub token with the necessary read permissions.

Then, if we say that:

{owner} is paolo
{repo} is mycoolrepo
{ref} is 1.0.0

then you can use:

$ curl -s -L -H "Authorization: token INSERT_TOKEN_HERE" https://github.MY_ENTERPRISE_NAME.com/api/v3/repos/paolo/mycoolrepo/tarball/1.0.0 --output release_zip

obviously, replace INSERT_TOKEN_HERE and MY_ENTERPRISE_NAME with the token and the organisation name respectively.

You can confirm the download has been successful with file; for a successful download, it should look as follows:

$ file release_zip
release_zip: gzip compressed data, from Unix, original size 51200
