There was a problem hiding this comment.
I know something like this is necessary because the GitHub CLI doesn't expose commands that generate these urls based on the host authenticated and selected here.
Doesn't mean I have to like it 😠

I feel the same 😦 It feels like it would be great for the CLI to have a way to expose the base URLs.
Agreed! |

@timrogers : thank you again for your contribution! I'll see about cutting a new release with this https://github.com/andyfeller/gh-repo-export/releases/tag/v1.2.0 |
This adds a new
--skip-downloadoption to the extension, allowing you to output the archive's URL to stdout rather than automatically downloading it. This is useful if you want to use the URL, rather than use the file.Due to limitations with
gh api, I've been forced to usecurlto make the request to the GitHub API to get the archive URL. It isn't possible to do this bit withgh apibecause it automatically follows the redirect and doesn't give you an opportunity to grab the URL.
