Upload builds to GitHub Releases easily

uploadtool

Super simple uploading of continuous builds (each push) to GitHub Releases. If this is not the easiest way to upload continuous builds to GitHub Releases, then it is a bug.

Usage

Upon each run, this script will delete any pre-existing release and tag with the name continuous, create a new one, and upload the specified binaries there.

• On https://github.com/settings/tokens, click on "Generate new token" and generate a token with at least the public_repo, repo:status, and repo_deployment scopes
• On Travis CI, go to the settings of your project at https://travis-ci.org/yourusername/yourrepository/settings
• Under "Environment Variables", add key GITHUB_TOKEN and the token you generated above as the value. Make sure that "Display value in build log" is set to "OFF"
• In the .travis.yml of your GitHub repository, add something like this (assuming the build artifacts to be uploaded are in out/):

after_success:
  - ls -lh out/* # Assuming you have some files in out/ that you would like to upload
  - wget -c https://github.com/probonopd/uploadtool/raw/master/upload.sh
  - bash ./upload.sh out/*
  
branches:
  except:
    - # Do not build tags that we create when we upload to GitHub Releases
    - /^(?i:continuous)$/
