Introduction

This project is a port of the Ruby net::github:upload library to the .Net Framework.

It allows for uploading of files to the "Downloads" section of a github project.

Why would I want this?

If you want to automate the uploading of files to the "Download" section of a github project, from say a PowerShell script.

What do I need to use this

This library makes use of the HTML Agility Pack and the Newtonsoft JSON.Net library.

Quick Examples

Uploading

var uploader = new GithubUploader("github-login", "gihub-secret-token");
	
string fileLocation = uploader.Upload(new UploadInfo
		                       	{
		                       		ContentType = "text/plain",
		                       		Data = new byte[] {1, 2, 3, 4}, // alternatively, set the Property "FileName" with a path to a file.
		                       		Description = "Test",
		                       		Name = "name",
		                       		Repository = "RepositoryXYZ"
		                       	});
								
// file location will be in the format:  http://github.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads%2Fgithubuploadtest%2FGitHubUploadDotNet-Test%2Fname29ad9d6e-9fac-4a76-84e3-cae384c97ed9
Console.WriteLine(fileLocation);  

Listing Files

var uploader = new GithubUploader("github-login", "gihub-secret-token");
	
var files = uploader.ListFiles("RepositoryXYZ");

foreach (var file in files)
{
	Console.WriteLine("File: {0}, Id: {1}, Size: {2}, Link: {3}", file.Name, file.Id, file.Size, file.Link);
}

Deleting Files

var uploader = new GithubUploader("github-login", "gihub-secret-token");
	
var files = uploader.ListFiles("RepositoryXYZ");

foreach (var file in files)
{
	uploader.Delete("RepositoryXYZ", file.Id);
}

// alternatively, you can also just "DeleteAll"

uploader.DeleteAll("RepositoryXYZ");
