# homebrew-import-release-action
[](https://github.com/xsc/homebrew-import-release-action/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)
[](https://github.com/xsc/homebrew-import-release-action/releases/latest)
This is a [Github Action][gha] to populate a [Homebrew tap][tap] with formulas
based on Github releases and their assets.
## Usage
```yaml
- uses: xsc/homebrew-import-release-action@v2
id: formula
with:
template: into-docker.template.rb
target: into-docker.rb
repository: into-docker/into-docker
asset-selector: macos-amd64.zip
```
Afterwards, you can use e.g. [create-pull-request][] to allow for a review of
the changes:
```yaml
- uses: peter-evans/create-pull-request@v3
with:
title: "Update 'into-docker' formula (${{ steps.formula.outputs.version }})"
commit-message: "Formula: into-docker@${{ steps.formula.outputs.version }}"
branch: "update-formula/into-docker-${{ steps.formula.outputs.version }}"
```
(I suspect you should not commit these directly.)
[create-pull-request]: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/create-pull-request
## Prerequisites
- Existing Github release with corresponding tag (e.g. `v1.0.0`).
- An asset attached to the release that matches a defined selector (see below).
- A template file that can use the following variables for substitution:
- `HOMEBREW_VERSION`: version of the formula.
- `HOMEBREW_ASSET_URL`: URL to the matched release asset.
- `HOMEBREW_SHA256`: SHA-256 hash of the matched release asset.
- `HOMEBREW_ASSET_URL_ALT`: URL to the alternative release asset (e.g. Linux version).
- `HOMEBREW_SHA256_ALT`: SHA-256 hash of the alternative release asset (e.g. Linux version).
