Manages GitHub release assets for pushing binaries and other large files

Usage

To upload a file as a release asset:

targit USER/REPO TAG /path/to/file

That will add the given file as a release asset for "TAG" on the given GitHub repo. If you haven't already stored GitHub credentials, it will prompt you for them.

To create a release that doesn't already exist, add -c:

targit -c dock0/arch v0.1.75 ./new_tarball.tar.gz

Specify a name for the release, if desired:

targit -c -r "cool release" dock0/arch v0.1.75 ./new_tarball.tar.gz

Adding -f will replace an existing release/asset, if they exist:

targit -f -c dock0/arch v0.1.75 ./newer_tarball.tar.gz

Use -n NAME to set the name for the asset (it defaults to the file's name):

targit -n special.tar.gz -f -c dock0/arch v0.1.76 ./custom_tarball.tar.gz

Content can also be provided via stdin:

echo "secrit data" | targit -f -c -n foobar dock0/arch v0.0.test

The release can be created as a prerelease via -p.

Using -a lets you use an alternate GitHub credential file, other than the default of ~/.octoauth.yml.

Installation

gem install targit
