# Upload files to a GitHub release [![GitHub Actions Workflow](https://github.com/svenstaro/upload-release-action/workflows/PR%20Checks/badge.svg)](https://github.com/svenstaro/upload-release-action/actions)
This action allows you to select which files to upload to the just-tagged release.
It runs on all operating systems types offered by GitHub.
## Input variables
You must provide:
- `repo_token`: Usually you'll want to set this to `${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}`
- `file`: A local file to be uploaded as the asset.
- `asset_name`: The name the file gets as an asset on a release. Use `$tag` to include the tag name.
- `tag`: The tag to upload into. If you want the current event's tag, use `${{ github.ref }}` (the `refs/tags/` prefix will be automatically stripped).
- `overwrite`: If an asset with the same name already exists, overwrite it.
Optional Arguments
- `file_glob`: If set to true, the file argument can be a glob pattern (`asset_name` is ignored in this case)
## Usage
This usage assumes you want to build on tag creations only.
This is a common use case as you will want to upload release binaries for your tags.
Simple example:
```yaml
name: Publish
on:
push:
tags:
- '*'
jobs:
build:
name: Publish binaries
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Build
run: cargo build --release
- name: Upload binaries to release
uses: svenstaro/upload-release-action@v1-release
with:
repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
file: target/release/mything
asset_name: mything
tag: ${{ github.ref }}
overwrite: true
```
Complex example with more operating systems:
```yaml
name: Publish
on:
push:
tags:
- '*'
jobs:
publish:
name: Publish for ${{ matrix.os }}
runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
strategy:
matrix:
include:
- os: ubuntu-latest
artifact_name: mything
asset_name: mything-linux-amd64
- os: windows-latest
artifact_name: mything.exe
asset_name: mything-windows-amd64
- os: macos-latest
artifact_name: mything
asset_name: mything-macos-amd64
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Build
run: cargo build --release --locked
- name: Upload binaries to release
uses: svenstaro/upload-release-action@v1-release
with:
repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
file: target/release/${{ matrix.artifact_name }}
asset_name: ${{ matrix.asset_name }}
tag: ${{ github.ref }}
```
Example with `file_glob`:
```yaml
name: Publish
on:
push:
tags:
- '*'
jobs:
build:
name: Publish binaries
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Build
run: cargo build --release
- name: Upload binaries to release
uses: svenstaro/upload-release-action@v1-release
with:
repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
file: target/release/my*
tag: ${{ github.ref }}
overwrite: true
file_glob: true
```
## Releasing
To release this Action:
- Bump version in `package.json`
- `npm run all`
- `git commit -am <version>`
- `git tag -sm <version> <version>`
- `git push --follow-tags`
- Go to https://github.com/svenstaro/upload-release-action/releases and publish the new version
