Use this plugin for publishing files and artifacts to GitHub releases. Be aware that you can use this plugin only for tags, GitHub doesn't support the release of branches.

Config

The following parameters are used to configure the plugin:

• api_key - GitHub oauth token with public_repo or repo permission
• files - files to upload to GitHub Release, globs are allowed
• file_exists - what to do if an file asset already exists, supported values: overwrite (default), skip and fail
• checksum - checksum takes hash methods to include in your GitHub release for the files specified. Supported hash methods include md5, sha1, sha256, sha512, adler32, and crc32.
• draft - create a draft release if set to true
• base_url - GitHub base URL, only required for GHE
• upload_url - GitHub upload URL, only required for GHE

The following secret values can be set to configure the plugin.

• GITHUB_RELEASE_API_KEY - corresponds to api_key
• GITHUB_RELEASE_BASE_URL - corresponds to base_url
• GITHUB_RELEASE_UPLOAD_URL - corresponds to upload_url

It is highly recommended to put the GITHUB_RELEASE_API_KEY into a secret so it is not exposed to users. This can be done using the drone-cli.

drone secret add --image=plugins/github-release \
    octocat/hello-world GITHUB_RELEASE_API_KEY my_github_api_key

Then sign the YAML file after all secrets are added.

drone sign octocat/hello-world

See secrets for additional information on secrets

Examples

The following is a sample configuration in your .drone.yml file:

pipeline:
  github_release:
    image: plugins/github-release
    files: dist/*
    when:
      event: tag

An example for generating checksums and upload additional files:

pipeline:
  github_release:
    image: plugins/github-release
    files:
      - dist/*
      - bin/binary.exe
    checksum:
      - md5
      - sha1
      - sha256
      - sha512
      - adler32
      - crc32
    when:
      event: tag
