How to authenticate and create a release

[sumiticfai196]

Hi

Am pretty new to your module and was exploring it's avenue to be used in Azure Devops to create a release in GitHub Enterprise Repository.

Will it be possible for you to guide me with the steps

• Connecting to GitHub Enterprise using PAT
• Then pulling out an artifact which has been created
• Creating a release using that artifact

I tried couple of things using the modules but no luck :(

Hi @sumiticfai196,

• Can you include the code of what you've tried so far that hasn't worked and explain how it's failing?
• From where are you "pulling out an artifact which has been created"?

To connect with GitHub Enterprise using a PAT you'll likely need to do the following:

1. Configure the correct endpoint
2. Get an API token and call Set-GitHubAuthentication

For creating a release, there are some examples in USAGE.md, and you can review the documentation in the Wiki for those commands to see the full set of what they support.
You'll need to first create a new release and then you can upload the artifact as an asset.

Followed following steps

$secureString = ("<redacted>" | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force)
$cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "username is ignored", $secureString
Set-GitHubAuthentication -Credential $cred

Set-GitHubConfiguration -ApiHostName "github.sumit.org"
Get-GitHubRepository -Uri "https://github.sumit.org/HP-UTILITY-SYS/KPMETRS/tree/BUG"
New-GitHubRelease -Uri "https://github.sumit.org/HP-UTILITY-SYS/KPMETRS/tree/BUG" -Tag "1.0.0.1" -Name "PowerShell" 

Need your suggestion how can i include only a specific folder/artifact for release

Need your suggestion how can i include only a specific folder/artifact for release

I'm still not sure I follow your question. Did this example not sufficiently explain how to upload an artifact to be part of the release?

New-GitHubReleaseAsset -OwnerName 'HP-UTILITY-SYS' -RepositoryName 'KPMETRS' -Release 123456 -Path 'c:\foo.zip'

Ok, great. So, your issue is now resolved?
