# gh-get-asset

Fetch an asset (ie: binary) from a GitHub release

## Installation

```shell

gh extension install chmouel/gh-get-asset

```

### Requirements

- [GH](https://github.com/cli/cli)

- [JQ](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/)

## Usage

gh get-asset extension let you download an asset (ie: binary or others) from a release page.

by default the first argument is the `owner/repo` and second argument is a substring in the asset.

example:

```console

gh get-asset chmouel/gosmee Linux-ARM64.rpm

```

this will grab the latest release from

[gosmee](https://github.com/chmouel/gosmee) that has Linux-ARM64.rpm in the

binary name.

If you want to output it to another file or location you can use `-o` :

```console

gh get-asset -o/tmp/gosmee.rpm chmouel/gosmee Linux-ARM64.rpm && rpm -Uvh /tmp/gosmee.rpm

```

If you have multiple binary matching it will get all of them (incompatible

with -o option)

You can add `-s` for silent te output of curl (useful for crons)

By default it will always grab the latest release unless you specify `-r

RELEASE` to grab another release.
