Download GitHub Release GitHub Action

GitHub Action for downloading files from GitHub release. It can download the source zip archive and unzip it into a directory. It is also possible to download any other file of the release. This action can download from public and private repositories.

Usage

See action.yml for comprehensive list of parameters.

Basic:

on: push
name: Main Workflow
jobs:
  build:
    name: "Download release"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Download CLI
      uses: Legion2/download-release-action@v2.1.0
      with:
        repository: apache/openwhisk-cli
        tag: '0.10.0-incubating'
        path: downloads
        file: OpenWhisk_CLI-0.10.0-incubating-all.tgz

If your asset belongs to a private repository you need to pass a Github token with the repo permission, like so:

on: push
name: Main Workflow
jobs:
  build:
    name: "Download release"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Download CLI
      uses: Legion2/download-release-action@v2.1.0
      with:
        repository: Legion2/private-repo
        tag: '1.0.0'
        path: downloads
        file: hello-world.sh
        token: ${{ secrets.SECRET_NAME }}

Most likely you can't use ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} because it only allow access to the repo of the current workflow and not to other private repositories.s
