  file = NULL,
  repo = guess_repo(),
  tag = "latest",
  .token = gh::gh_token()
)

Arguments

file

name or vector of names of files to be downloaded. If NULL, all assets attached to the release will be downloaded.

repo

Repository name in format "owner/repo". Defaults to guess_repo().

tag

tag for the GitHub release to which this data should be attached.

.token

GitHub authentication token, see [gh::gh_token()]

Value

the URL to download a file

Examples

if (FALSE) {

pb_download_url("iris.tsv.xz",
                repo = "cboettig/piggyback-tests",
                tag = "v0.0.1")

}
