# githubrelease

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/j0057/github-release.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/j0057/github-release)

This project aims at streamlining the distribution of
[releases](https://github.com/blog/1547-release-your-software) on Github.

> It also sucks to download a file from github to your desktop, and then
> SCP it to a server.

# examples

from the command-line:

```bash
# create a prerelease
$ githubrelease release jcfr/sandbox create 1.0.0 --prerelease

# upload assets
$ githubrelease asset jcfr/sandbox upload 1.0.0 "dist/*"

# publish the release
$ githubrelease release jcfr/sandbox publish 1.0.0

# or all together: create with custom name, upload assets, and publish
$ githubrelease release jcfr/sandbox create 2.0.0 --publish --name "Awesome 2.0" "dist/*"
```

... or even from python:

```python
from github_release import gh_release_create
gh_release_create("jcfr/sandbox ", "2.0.0", publish=True, name="Awesome 2.0", asset_pattern="dist/*")
```

*That said, if you are looking for a full fledged GitHub API support for
Python, you should probably look into project like [github3py](http://github3py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) or
[PyGithub](https://github.com/PyGithub/PyGithub)*

# features

* create release, pre-release, or draft release
* update any release metadata including referenced commit
* support wildcard expression (or list of wildcard expressions):
  * for upload or download of assets
  * for selectively deleting assets
* report download and upload progress
* allow deleting individual asset from a release
* retry upload in case of server failure
* gracefully handle release with invalid assets (the ones with *new* state)
* authentication through `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable or `~/.netrc` file
* pure python, only depends on [requests](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/) and [click](http://pocco-click.readthedocs.io)


# installing

Released stable version can be installed from [pypi](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/githubrelease) using:

```bash
pip install githubrelease
```

Bleeding edge version can be installed using:

```bash
pip intall githubrelease -f https://github.com/j0057/github-release/releases/tag/latest
```

# configuring

First, [generate a new token](https://help.github.com/articles/creating-an-access-token-for-command-line-use). It
should have at least the `repo` scope.

Then, there are three options:

* Set the `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable:

```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
/path/to/command
```

* Pass the ``--github-token`` CLI argument. For example:

```bash
$ githubrelease --github-token YOUR_TOKEN release jcfr/sandbox create --prerelease 1.0.0
```


* Put the key in `~/.netrc`, which should have mode 0600 (`-rw-------`):

```
machine api.github.com
login YOUR_TOKEN
password x-oauth-basic

machine uploads.github.com
login YOUR_TOKEN
password x-oauth-basic
```

where ``YOUR_TOKEN`` should be replaced with the generated token.

# using the cli

The package installs one CLI named ``githubrelease``.

```bash
$ githubrelease 
Usage: githubrelease [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  A CLI to easily manage GitHub releases, assets and references.

Options:
  --github-token TEXT         [default: GITHUB_TOKEN env. variable]
  --progress / --no-progress  Display progress bar (default: yes).
  --help                      Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  asset    Manage release assets (upload, download, ...)...
  ref      Manage references (list, create, delete, ...)...
  release  Manage releases (list, create, delete, ...)...

Run 'githubrelease COMMAND --help' for more information on a command.
```

*For backward compatibility, it also installs `github-release` and `github-asset`*

## ``release`` command

This command deals with releases. The general usage is:

```bash
githubrelease release username/reponame command [tag] [options]
```

**Optional parameters:**

* create:

```bash
  --name NAME
  --body BODY
  --publish
  --prerelease
  --target-commitish TARGET_COMMITISH
  --help
  [ASSET_PATTERN]...
```

```

## ``asset`` command

This command deals with release assets. The general usage is:

```bash
githubrelease asset username/reponame command [tag] [filename] [options]
```

It understands the following commands:

| command   | parameters                 | description                                               |
|-----------|----------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------|
| list      |                            | list all assets                                           |
| upload    | tagname filename...        | upload files to a release                                 |
| download  |                            | download all files from all releases to current directory |

| delete    | tagname filename [options] | delete a file from a release                              |


**Optional parameters:**

* delete:

```bash
--keep-pattern KEEP_PATTERN
```


**Remarks:**

When specifying filenames, shell-like wildcards are supported, but make sure to
quote using single quotes, i.e. don't let the shell expand the wildcard pattern.

For the `download` command, you also need to specify a tagname of `'*'`


**Examples:**

```bash
# upload all example-project-1.4* files in /home/me/pkg
$ githubrelease asset octocat/example-project upload 1.4 '/home/me/pkg/example-project-1.4*'

# download all wheels from all releases
$ githubrelease asset octocat/example-project download '*' '*.whl'

# download all files from release 1.4
$ githubrelease asset octocat/example-project download 1.4

# download all files from example-project
$ githubrelease asset octocat/example-project download
```

## ``ref`` command

This command deals with git references. The general usage is:

```bash
githubrelease ref username/reponame command [options]
```

It understands the following commands:

| command   | parameters                             | description                                |
|-----------|----------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
| create    | ref sha                                | create reference (e.g heads/foo, tags/foo) |
| list      | [--tags] [--pattern PATTERN]           | list all references                        |
| delete    | pattern [--tags] [--keep-pattern KEEP_PATTERN] | delete selected references                 |


# using the module

The python API mirrors the command-line interface. Most of the available
function names follows this pattern:

```
gh_<COMMAND>_<COMMAND>
```

where the first ``<COMMAND>`` is either ``release``,
``asset`` or ``ref`` and the second one is any command respectively
documented above.

The parameters accepted by each function also mirrors the command-line
interface. The usual signature is:

```python
gh_<COMMAND>_<COMMAND>(repo_name, [param, [param,]] [option, [option]])
```

For example, here is the signature for ``gh_release_create``:

```python
def gh_release_create(repo_name, tag_name, 
                      name=None, publish=False, prerelease=False, target_commitish=None):
```

The type of each parameters or options can usually be inferred from
its name. If not, consider looking at [github_release.py](https://github.com/j0057/github-release/blob/update-readme/github_release.py).

```
repo_name        -> str
tag_name         -> str
name             -> str
publish          -> bool
prerelease       -> bool
target_commitish -> str
```

# testing

There are tests running automatically on TravisCI:
* coding style checks
* integration tests

Since the integration tests are expecting ``GITHUB_TOKEN`` to be set, they will
**NOT** be executed when pull request from fork are submitted. Indeed, setting
``GITHUB_TOKEN`` is required by the tests to reset and update [github-release-bot/github-release-test-py2](https://github.com/github-release-bot/github-release-test-py2)
and [github-release-bot/github-release-test-py3](https://github.com/github-release-bot/github-release-test-py3).

To execute the integration tests locally, and make sure your awesome contribution
is working as expected, you will have to:
* create a test repository with at least one commit (e.g `yourname/github-release-test`)
* set environment variable ``INTEGRATION_TEST_REPO_NAME=yourname/github-release-test``
* execute ``python setup.py test``

To execute a specific test, the following also works:

```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
export INTEGRATION_TEST_REPO_NAME=yourname/github-release-test
$ pytest tests/test_integration_release_create.py::test_create_release
```

Moving forward, the plan would be to leverage tools like [betamax](http://betamax.readthedocs.io)
allowing to intercept every request made and attempting to find a matching request
that has already been intercepted and recorded.


# maintainers: how to make a release ?

1. Configure `~/.pypirc` as described [here](https://packaging.python.org/distributing/#uploading-your-project-to-pypi).

2. Make sure the cli and module work as expected.

3. Choose the next release version number:

   ```bash
   release="X.Y.Z"
   ```

4. Review [CHANGES.md](https://github.com/j0057/github-release/blob/master/README.md), replace *Next Release* into *X.Y.Z*, commit and push. Consider using `[ci skip]` in commit message:

   ```bash
   sed -i -e "s/Next Release/${release}/" CHANGES.md
   sed -i -e "s/============/=====/" CHANGES.md
   git add CHANGES.md
   git commit -m "CHANGES.md: Replace \"Next Release\" with \"${release}\"

   [ci skip]
   "
   ```

   Review commit, then push:

   ```bash
   git push origin master
   ```

5. Tag the release. Requires a GPG key with signatures:

    ```bash
    git tag -s -m "githubrelease ${release}" ${release} origin/master
    ```

    And push:

    ```bash
    git push origin ${release}
    ```

6. Create the source tarball and binary wheels:

    ```bash
    rm -rf dist/
    python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel
    ```

7. Upload the packages to the testing PyPI instance:

    ```bash
    twine upload --sign -r pypitest dist/*
    ```

8. Check the [PyPI testing package page](https://test.pypi.org/project/githubrelease/).

9. Upload the packages to the PyPI instance::

    ```bash
    twine upload --sign dist/*
    ```

10. Check the [PyPI package page](https://pypi.org/project/githubrelease/).

11. Create a virtual env, and make sure the package can be installed:

    ```bash
    mkvirtualenv test-githubrelease-install
    pip install githubrelease
    ```

12. Create github release and upload packages:

    ```bash
    export GITHUB_TOKEN=YOUR_TOKEN
    githubrelease release j0057/github-release create ${release} --name ${release} --publish ./dist/*
    ```

13. Update release notes by copying relevant content from CHANGES.md

    ```bash
    export EDITOR=vim
    githubrelease release j0057/github-release release-notes ${release}
    ```

14. Cleanup

    ```bash
    deactivate
    rmvirtualenv test-githubrelease-install
    ```

    And update ``CHANGES.md``:

    ```bash
    sed -i '1i Next Release\n============\n' CHANGES.md
    git add CHANGES.md
    git commit -m "Begin ${release} development

    * CHANGES.md: Add \"Next Release\" section

    [ci skip]
    "
    git push origin master
    ```

# faq

* Why do I get a ``requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 401 Client Error: Unauthorized for url  https://api.github.com/repos/...`` ?

  It probably means that the GitHub token you specified is invalid.
