glab-securefile-download - Man Page

Download one or more secure files from a project.

Synopsis

glab securefile download [] [flags]

Description

To download a single file, identify it by its numeric ID (as a positional argument or with --id) or by its name with --name. To download every secure file in the project (up to a limit of 100), use --all.

Use --path to save a single download to a specific filename, or --output-dir to choose the destination directory when downloading multiple files.

By default, downloaded files are verified against their checksum. Use --no-verify to skip verification, or --force-download to keep files even when verification fails. Both options can allow corrupted or tampered files; use with caution.

By default, files are downloaded from the current project. Use --repo to target another project.

Options

--all[=false] Download all (limit 100) of a project's secure files. Files are downloaded with their original name and file extension.

--force-download[=false] Force download file(s) even if checksum verification fails. Warning: when enabled, this setting allows the download of files that are corrupt or tampered with.

--id=0 ID of the secure file to download.

--name="" Name of the secure file to download. Saves the file with this name, or to the path specified by --path.

--no-verify[=false] Do not verify the checksum of the downloaded file(s). Warning: when enabled, this setting allows the download of files that are corrupt or tampered with.

--output-dir="." Output directory for files downloaded with --all.

-p, --path="./downloaded.tmp" Path to download the secure file to, including filename and extension.

Options Inherited from Parent Commands

-h, --help[=false] Show help for this command.

-R, --repo="" Select another repository. You can use either OWNER/REPO or GROUP/NAMESPACE/REPO. The full URL or Git URL is also accepted.
