Zgenom Extension for GitHub Releases

You need to install gh and use it with zgenom.

Example

source "${HOME}/.zgenom/zgenom.zsh"

zgenom autoupdate --background

if ! zgenom saved; then
    zgenom load jandamm/zgenom-ext-release
    # Download all assets matching *apple*.
    # Also extract from archive and add to $PATH.
    zgenom release ajeetdsouza/zoxide --pattern '*apple*'
fi

This example would add the assets to $ZGEN_DIR/ajeetdsouza/zoxide/___release.

Note: Since this does not clone a git repository the release is not updated when zgenom update is executed. It is updated when a new shell is started where init.zsh is missing. Shouldn't be an issue using zgenom autoupdate --background.

Options

• --force: Always update. Even when pattern/version didn't change.
• --pattern: Specify a glob which should match the downloaded asset.
• --no-untar: Don't extract tar.gz assets.
• --no-bin: Don't add executable files to $PATH.
