Scripty

Generate bash and PowerShell install scripts for binaries hosted on GitHub releases.

Use

scripty generate github

This will prompt for the following information

• Repo Location: The GitHub repo in the form USERNAME/REPO
• Archive Name: The template for artifact hosted on GitHub. May use variables in the form {VARIABLE_NAME}. Possible variables:
  • {PLATFORM}: The OS of the machine as reported from running uname -s on Linux/Darwin machines and Windows on Windows machines.
  • {ARCH}: The architecture of the machine as reported from running uname -m on Linux/Darwin machines and the environment variable PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE on Windows.
  • {TAG}: Resolves to the GitHub release.
  • {ARCHIVE_EXT}: Resolves to .tar.gz on Linux/Darwin machines and .zip on Windows.
  • {BINARY_EXT}: Resolves to blank on Linux/Darwin and .exe on Windows.
• Linux/Darwin Platform Mapping: Comma separated list of KEY=VALUE pairs representing a map of uname -s platform names to what is listed in GitHub releases. Example, Darwin=mac can be used to generate install scripts for GitHub projects that use the term mac in their release artifacts instead of Darwin.
• Linux/Darwin Architecture Mapping: Comma separated list of KEY=VALUE paris representing architecture mappings. Example, x86_64=amd64 can be used to generate install scripts for GitHub projects that use the term amd64 in their release artifacts instead of x86_64.
• Windows Platform Mapping: Map the term Windows to a term that is used in the GitHub release artifact. Example, Windows=win
• Windows Architecture Mapping: Comma separated list of KEY=VALUE pairs to map the environment variable PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE on Windows to a term used by the GitHub project the script is bein generated for. Example, AMD64=x86_64 is useful to map the value AMD64 to x86_64.
• Dest: Where to create the install.sh and install.ps1 install scripts.

Values used to generate the install scripts for this project

• Repo Location: dworthen/goscripty
• Archive Name: scripty_{PLATFORM}_{ARCH}{ARCHIVE_EXT}. This matches the format I use to release binary archives: https://github.com/dworthen/goscripty/releases
• Linux/Darwin Platform Mapping: ``. Left blank to use the default of Linux=Linux,Darwin=Darwin. Again, this matches the format used in the GitHub releases page.
• Linux/Darwin Architecture Mapping: ``. Left blank to use the default of x86_64=x86_64.
• Windows Platform Mapping: ``. Left blank to default to Windows=Windows.
• Windows Architecture Mapping: ``. Left blank to default to AMD64=x86_64.
• Dest: ./scripts

This generates install scripts in the ./scripts.
