Add-GitHubReleaseAsset¶
SYNOPSIS¶
Upload a release asset
SYNTAX¶
Add-GitHubReleaseAsset [[-Owner] <String>] [[-Repo] <String>] [-ID] <String> [[-Name] <String>]
[[-Label] <String>] [[-ContentType] <String>] [-FilePath] <String> [-ProgressAction <ActionPreference>]
[<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION¶
This endpoint makes use of a Hypermedia relation
to determine which URL to access.
The endpoint you call to upload release assets is specific to your release.
Use the
upload_url
returned in
the response of the Create a release endpoint to upload
a release asset.
You need to use an HTTP client which supports SNI to make calls to this endpoint.
Most libraries will set the required Content-Length
header automatically.
Use the required Content-Type
header to provide
the media type of the asset.
For a list of media types, see
Media Types.
For example:
application/zip
GitHub expects the asset data in its raw binary form, rather than JSON. You will send the raw binary content of the asset as the request body. Everything else about the endpoint is the same as the rest of the API. For example, you'll still need to pass your authentication to be able to upload an asset.
When an upstream failure occurs, you will receive a 502 Bad Gateway
status.
This may leave an empty asset with a state
of starter
.
It can be safely deleted.
Notes:
* GitHub renames asset filenames that have special characters, non-alphanumeric characters, and leading or trailing periods.
The "List release assets"
endpoint lists the renamed filenames.
For more information and help, contact
GitHub Support.
* To find the release_id
query the
GET /repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/latest
endpoint.
* If you upload an asset with the same filename as another uploaded asset, you'll receive an error and must delete
the old file before you can re-upload the new asset.
