How does it handle firmware file naming?

The skill includes a procedure to automatically strip CI-specific suffixes (like build dates and hashes) and renames them to standard formats such as inav_9.0.0_RC2_TARGET.hex.

What software package formats are supported for configurators?

It is pre-configured to handle .deb, .rpm, .zip, .dmg, and .msi files across Linux, macOS, and Windows directories.

Does this skill work with draft releases?

Yes, the skill utilizes the GitHub CLI, which allows for uploading assets to both draft and published releases seamlessly.

Can I overwrite files that already exist in a release?

Yes, by using the --clobber flag within the command, you can replace existing assets with new versions if needed.

How do I verify that all assets were uploaded correctly?

The skill includes a verification step that queries the GitHub API to return a count of the assets currently attached to the release for comparison.

Deployment & DevOps

Automates the uploading of firmware binaries and software packages to GitHub releases with intelligent file renaming.

About

This skill streamlines the GitHub release process by managing the upload of technical artifacts like firmware hex files and OS-specific configurator packages. It handles the critical step of stripping CI suffixes from build files to ensure clean versioning—converting nightly build names to official RC or final release formats—and supports multi-platform organizational structures. It is particularly useful for developers managing hardware or software projects where manual asset management is repetitive and error-prone.

Key Features

Batch uploading using the GitHub CLI with extension-specific targeting
Clobber support for overwriting existing release assets during updates
Multi-platform support for configurator packages (Linux, macOS, Windows)
Automated firmware hex file renaming from CI formats to standard release versions
Post-upload verification to ensure asset count matches source directory
0 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Distributing multi-platform desktop application installers via GitHub
Automating the transition from nightly builds to stable release candidates
Publishing firmware releases for flight controllers and embedded systems
