# 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](action.yml) for comprehensive list of parameters.

Basic:

```yaml

on: push

name: Main Workflow

jobs:

  build:

    name: "Download release"

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

    - name: Download CLI

      uses: Legion2/[email protected]

      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:

```yaml

on: push

name: Main Workflow

jobs:

  build:

    name: "Download release"

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:

    - name: Download CLI

      uses: Legion2/[email protected]

      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
