Webhook: Command to download latest webhook version

Created on 8 Nov 2018 · 4Comments · Source: adnanh/webhook

I can not find a way to build a command the downloads the latest version of webhook from GitHub releases. All links that I found are version-specific. Solution that Google uses is to publish version information during release process separately and use that to construct final download link.

This is how a download link for kubectl looks like:

curl -LO https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/$(curl -s \
https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt)/bin/darwin/amd64/kubectl

With https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt containing the latest stable version.

It might be possible to enable GitHub Pages for this repository and push latest released version info to it during release process.

@adnanh took me half of an hour to get this magic spell. :D

sudo sh -c "curl -L $(curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/adnanh/webhook/releases/latest \
  | grep -o -E "https://.+?-linux-amd64.tar.gz") | tar -xzO > /usr/local/bin/webhook \
  && chmod +x /usr/local/bin/webhook"

You should be able to use the GitHub API to find the latest release.

This is the command that I use. How to call GitHub API there to get the 2.6.8 part?

curl -L https://github.com/adnanh/webhook/releases/download/2.6.8/webhook-linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar -xzO > /usr/local/bin/webhook

You can consult GitHub API documentation for the Releases API :-)
