ArtifactUtils

Provides the function add_artifact!, which makes it easy for Julia projects to ship their own tarballs as Artifacts.

Example

This will download the JuliaMono font from GitHub as a tarball and create a corresponding Artifacts.toml file in the current directory. It allows any Julia code in that directory to access these files with the artifact"..." string macro.

julia> using ArtifactUtils, Artifacts # Artifacts provides the artifact string macro

julia> add_artifact!(
                     "Artifacts.toml",
                     "JuliaMono",
                     "https://github.com/cormullion/juliamono/releases/download/v0.030/JuliaMono.tar.gz",
                     force=true,
                    )
SHA1("6c460cf2eccecd24499618112adbbe7e403fa1ee")

Archive a directory and upload it to gist

You can create an artifact from a directory using artifact_from_directory and then upload it to gist with upload_to_gist. Note that upload_to_gist requires login with the GitHub CLI gh.

julia> using ArtifactUtils

julia> tempdir = mktempdir();

julia> write(joinpath(tempdir, "file"), "hello");

julia> artifact_id = artifact_from_directory(tempdir)
SHA1("538e83d637ab07ada6d841aa2454e0d5af4e52b3")

julia> gist = upload_to_gist(artifact_id)

You can copy-and-paste the printed artifact fragment into your Artifacts.toml file. You can also call add_artifact! with the gist result object.

julia> add_artifact!("Artifacts.toml", "hello_world", gist)
