Download binaries from github

binaries download

First, to get a list of the assets for the latest release:

curl -H "Authorization: token YOURGITHUBTOKEN" https://api.github.com/repos/NAME/REPO/releases/latest 
Then in the JSON, look up the url of the asset you want. For example it would look like: "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/NAME/REPO/releases/assets/1275759"

Then you pass this to another curl command to retrieve the actual URL, which is actually a link to an Amazon S3 file.

curl -H "Authorization: token YOURGITHUBTOKEN" -H "Accept:application/octet-stream" -i https://api.github.com/repos/NAME/REPO/releases/assets/1275759
The URL will be in the "location" field of the HTTP response, and then use curl to get the file like this:

curl "https://github-cloud.s3.amazonaws.com...." -i -o FILENAME
