GRI : Git(hub) Release Installer

Download, extract and make executable binaries downloaded from a git(hub) release. It is only tested on github with a few repos but works well in those cases as this tool is more of a test for argbash (it works really well :D )

Simple

downloads in a folder to $HOME

gri <github user> <github repo> <version>
# eg
gri DimitriGilbert gri 0.0.1

Choose download directory

gri <github user> <github repo> <version> <output directory>
# eg
gri DimitriGilbert gri 0.0.1 $HOME/Downloads

Choose target architecture

gri <github user> <github repo> <version> --arch <architecture>
gri <github user> <github repo> <version> -a <architecture>
# eg
gri barthr redo 0.3.0 $HOME/Downloads -a Linux_X86_64

Choose git service

NOT TESTED

gri <git service user> <git service repo> <version> --git-server <git service domain (github.com)>
gri <git service user> <git service repo> <version> -g <git service domain (github.com)>
# eg
gri barthr redo 0.3.0 $HOME/Downloads -a Linux_X86_64

Do not extract

gri <github user> <github repo> <version> --no-extract

Do not add execution right

gri <github user> <github repo> <version> --no-exec

Download source

gri <github user> <github repo> <version> --source

Download from http

gri <github user> <github repo> <version> --no-secure

Developpement

As I'm using argbash to create the parsing of arguments there's a couple of difference with a standard shell script.

To edit the script edit the gri.m4 file. Use the makefile to build the script

make build-script
# or build all artifact : doc, completion and script
make build

Known issue

missing [] for the if statement on line 2 after building script.
