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.

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.
• 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).

Optional Arguments

• asset_name: The name the file gets as an asset on a release. Use $tag to include the tag name. When not provided it will default to the filename. This is not used if file_glob is set to true.
• file_glob: If set to true, the file argument can be a glob pattern (asset_name is ignored in this case) (Default: false)
• overwrite: If an asset with the same name already exists, overwrite it (Default: false).
• prerelease: Mark the release as a pre-release (Default: false).
• release_name: Explicitly set a release name. (Defaults: implicitly same as tag via GitHub API).
• body: Content of the release text (Defaut: "").

• browser_download_url: The publicly available URL of the asset.

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:

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@v2 with: repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} file: target/release/mything asset_name: mything tag: ${{ github.ref }} overwrite: true body: "This is my release text"

Complex example with more operating systems:

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@v2 with: repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} file: target/release/${{ matrix.artifact_name }} asset_name: ${{ matrix.asset_name }} tag: ${{ github.ref }}

Example with file_glob:

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@v2 with: repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} file: target/release/my* tag: ${{ github.ref }} overwrite: true file_glob: true

To release this Action:

• Bump version in package.json
• Create CHANGELOG.md entry
• npm run all
• git commit -am <version>
• git tag -sm <version> <version>
• git push --follow-tags
