NAME
gh-issue-artifact-download - Download issue artifacts (preview)
SYNOPSIS
gh issue artifact download {<issue> [<artifact-number>...] | <artifact-url>...} [flags]
DESCRIPTION
Download issue artifacts to files. Without artifact numbers, every artifact on the issue is downloaded. Artifacts can also be named by their URLs, which must all be on one issue. <issue> is an issue number or URL.
Each file is named <number>-<name>. Markdown documents end in .md, HTML documents in .html, and links are saved as .url Internet Shortcut files. If a file already exists, that artifact fails unless you use --clobber to overwrite it or --skip-existing to skip it.
Use --dir to choose the directory to download files into, --output to choose the path for a single artifact, or --output - to print its content. Use --version with a single artifact to download an earlier version from its edit history.
OPTIONS
- --clobber
- Overwrite existing files of the same name
- -D, --dir <directory> (default ".")
- The directory to download files into
- -O, --output <file>
- The file to write a single artifact to (use "-" to write to standard output)
- --skip-existing
- Skip downloading when files of the same name exist
- --version <number> (default 0)
- Download the version with this number from the edit history
OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS
- -R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>
- Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format
