I came up with the script below, which you can use like: ./script v1.8.2.3 git-1.8.2.3.tar.gz It expects the tag to already be pushed up to GitHub. I'll leave sticking it on the "todo" branch and integrating it into RelUpload to you. This can also be used to backfill the old releases (though I looked on k.org and it seems to have only partial coverage). It sets the "prerelease" flag for -rc releases, but I did not otherwise fill in any fields, including the summary and description. GitHub seems to display reasonably if they are not set. -- >8 -- #!/bin/sh # # usage: $0 <tag> <tarball> repo=git/git # replace this with however you store your oauth token # if you don't have one, make one here: # https://github.com/settings/tokens/new token() { pass -n github.web.oauth } post() { curl -H "Authorization: token $(token)" "$@" } # usage: create <tag-name> create() { case "$1" in *-rc*) prerelease=true ;; *) prerelease=false ;; esac post -d ' { "tag_name": "'"$1"'", "prerelease": '"$prerelease"' }' "https://api.github.com/repos/$repo/releases"; } # use: upload <release-id> <filename> upload() { url="https://uploads.github.com/repos/$repo/releases/$1/assets"; && url="$url?name=$(basename $2)" && post -H "Content-Type: $(file -b --mime-type "$2")" \ --data-binary "@$2" \ "$url" } # This is a hack.
