Download files from the latest release.
Test this as
- link from github Markdown: https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/test.txt
- link from github pages: https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/
- release: https://github.com/niccokunzmann/download_latest/releases/latest
In your markdown files in the repository or in your github pages, add a link:
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<FILE>
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/<USER>/<REPOSITORY>/<FILE>
Replace <FILE> with the name of the file to download from the releases.
If you want to specify repository and user, you can do so.
If you are looking for a static way to download a file with index, without taking consideration of the file name, this is the option you are looking for
Ad the query parameter to the url like this: ?index=0..n
- The first file has index 0.
- When index is set, it downloads the file with that index from the latest release files. Example:
?index=5 - If index is not set, the first file is downloaded.
?index= - If the index parameter is set, the file name is ignored.
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/chlegou/bitbot/?index=0 // will download the 1st file in the latest release
https://niccokunzmann.github.io/download_latest/chlegou/bitbot/?index=5 // will download the 6th file in the latest release
IMPORTANT: In case of multiple files, you must take consideration of the files' order in the releases. They must follow the same order always. Adding files may break the order.
