add-release-assets

#!/bin/bash
#
# Add release assets (any files) to an existing tagged release in a github repo.
#
# Usage:
#     add-release-assets TAG asset-files
# where
#     TAG             the github release tag (find your git repo tags with command: hub release)
#     asset-files     the assets to add
#
# Example:
#     cd /mygitrepo
#     add-release-assets v1.0 /mygitrepoassets/*
# would add all files under /myrepoassets to github for the corresponding repo at /mygitrepo.
#
# Note1: requires packages 'hub' (and 'git') to be installed.
# Note2: working folder must be the github repo folder, not the assets folder.
# Note3: adding an already existing asset (file with the same name) simply overwrites the old one.
#
# The assets can be downloaded from:
#     https://github.com/USER/REPONAME/releases/download/TAG
