如何使用 cURL 从 GitHub 下载 tarball？

我试图用 CURL从 GitHub 下载一个 tarball，但它似乎没有重定向:

$ curl --insecure https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2
<html><body>You are being <a href="https://nodeload.github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2">redirected</a>.</body></html>

注意: wget 适合我:

$ wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2

但是我想使用 cURL，因为最终我想解压缩它，比如:

$ curl --insecure https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2 | tar zx

我发现重定向后的 URL 是 https://download.github.com/pinard-Pymacs-v0.24-beta1-0-gcebc80b.tar.gz，但我希望 cURL 足够聪明，能够解决这个问题。

Use the -L option to follow redirects:

curl -L https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2 | tar zx

You can also use wget to »untar it inline«. Simply specify stdout as the output file (-O -):

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/pinard/Pymacs/tarball/v0.24-beta2 -O - | tar xz

The modernized way of doing this is:

curl -sL https://github.com/user-or-org/repo/archive/sha1-or-ref.tar.gz | tar xz

Replace user-or-org, repo, and sha1-or-ref accordingly.

If you want a zip file instead of a tarball, specify .zip instead of .tar.gz suffix.

You can also retrieve the archive of a private repo, by specifying -u token:x-oauth-basic option to curl. Replace token with a personal access token.

with a specific dir:

cd your_dir && curl -L https://download.calibre-ebook.com/3.19.0/calibre-3.19.0-x86_64.txz | tar zx

All the other solutions require specifying a release/version number which obviously breaks automation.

This solution- currently tested and known to work with Github API v3- however can be used programmatically to grab the LATEST release without specifying any tag or release number and un-TARs the binary to an arbitrary name you specify in switch --one-top-level="pi-ap". Just swap-out user f1linux and repo pi-ap in below example with your own details and Bob's your uncle:

curl -L https://api.github.com/repos/f1linux/pi-ap/tarball | tar xzvf - --one-top-level="pi-ap" --strip-components 1
