README
# 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.
