Overview

The GithubLatest strategy identifies versions of software at github.com by checking a repository’s “latest” release page.

GitHub URLs take a few different formats:

  • https://github.com/example/example/releases/download/1.2.3/example-1.2.3.tar.gz
  • https://github.com/example/example/archive/v1.2.3.tar.gz
  • https://github.com/downloads/example/example/example-1.2.3.tar.gz

A repository’s /releases/latest URL normally redirects to a release tag (e.g., /releases/tag/1.2.3). When there isn’t a “latest” release, it will redirect to the /releases page.

This strategy should only be used when we know the upstream repository has a “latest” release and the tagged release is appropriate to use (e.g., “latest” isn’t wrongly pointing to an unstable version, not picking up the actual latest version, etc.). The strategy can only be applied by using strategy :github_latest in a livecheck block.

The default regex identifies versions like 1.2.3/v1.2.3 in href attributes containing the tag URL (e.g., /example/example/releases/tag/v1.2.3). This is a common tag format but a modified regex can be provided in a livecheck block to override the default if a repository uses a different format (e.g., example-1.2.3, 1.2.3d, 1.2.3-4, etc.).

NICE_NAME = 
"GitHub - Latest"
PRIORITY =

A priority of zero causes livecheck to skip the strategy. We do this for Homebrew::Livecheck::Strategy::GithubLatest so we can selectively apply the strategy using strategy :github_latest in a livecheck block.

URL_MATCH_REGEX =

The Regexp used to determine if the strategy applies to the URL.

%r{
  ^https?://github\.com
  /(?:downloads/)?(?<username>[^/]+) # The GitHub username
  /(?<repository>[^/]+)              # The GitHub repository name
