下载 github 用 curl 发布

Question

On this URL I'm able to download a.tar.gz which contains an official release. (I know it's also available on an API endpoint but this contains the test package too.

Now I'm wondering why this isn't working:

$ curl -O https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v0.23.4/yarn-v0.23.4.tar.gz

I get some .tar.gz which is 4KB instead of 3.6MB. It isn't showing an error. What am I missing? I want to use this URL and not the API if that's possible.

If you do the following it will download correctly:

wget https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v0.23.4/yarn-v0.23.4.tar.gz

If you want to use curl you have to use the redirect -L option to follow redirect link and direct the output in a file like this:

curl -L https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/releases/download/v0.23.4/ya‌​rn-v0.23.4.tar.gz > yarn.tar.gz

2021 Update Download from GitHub Using wget

Will also expand and delete the archive. Just edit the REPLACE_ values and then copy/paste

tgz

GH_USER=REPLACE_WITH_USER \
GH_REPO=REPLACE_WITH_REPO \
GH_BRANCH=REPLACE_WITH_BRANCH \
wget https://github.com/${GH_USER}/${GH_REPO}/archive/refs/tags/${GH_BRANCH}.tar.gz \
-O "${GH_REPO}-${GH_BRANCH}.tar.gz" && \
tar -xzvf ./"${GH_REPO}-${GH_BRANCH}.tar.gz" && \
rm ./"${GH_REPO}-${GH_BRANCH}.tar.gz"

zip

GH_USER=REPLACE_WITH_USER \
GH_REPO=REPLACE_WITH_REPO \
GH_BRANCH=REPLACE_WITH_BRANCH \
wget https://github.com/${GH_USER}/${GH_REPO}/archive/refs/tags/${GH_BRANCH}.zip \
-O "${GH_REPO}-${GH_BRANCH}.zip" && \ 
unzip ./"${GH_REPO}-${GH_BRANCH}.zip" && \
rm ./"${GH_REPO}-${GH_BRANCH}.zip"

I hope this helps someone: make sure your repository is public .

Then as explained in the other answers this should work:

curl -LO 'https://github.com/<user>/<repo>/archive/refs/tags/<1.0.0>.tar.gz'

When private, a token is required to access the release files, and you'll get NOT FOUND as a response. That was my issue.
