GitHub Action for downloading GitHub release archives

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 for comprehensive list of parameters.

Basic:

on: push
name: Main Workflow
jobs:
  build:
    name: "Download release"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Download CLI
      uses: Legion2/download-release-action@v2.1.0
      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:

on: push
name: Main Workflow
jobs:
  build:
    name: "Download release"
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Download CLI
      uses: Legion2/download-release-action@v2.1.0
      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
