💅 glab-securefile-download — a glab(1) manual page

✨ NAME

glab-securefile-download — Download one or more secure files from a project. That’s the whole assignment, bestie. 💖

🛠️ SYNOPSIS

glab securefile download [ | --id  | --name ] [flags]

💖 DESCRIPTION

Okay so here’s the tea ☕: to download a single file, you identify it by its numeric ID — either as a positional argument or with --id — or by its name with --name.

Want every secure file in the project? That’s --all, no cap. ✨

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

By default, downloaded files are verified against their checksum — periodt. 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. iykyk.

🎀 OPTIONS

• --all[=false] — Download all of a project's secure files. Files are downloaded with their original name and file extension. Iconic.
• --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. Be careful, bestie.
• --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.

🚨 Also reminder: --no-verify and --force-download are the “bestie no” combo if you care about corruption/tampering. The manpage says both can allow corrupted or tampered files; use with caution. I’m just repeating the warning because safety is main character energy. 💅

🧚 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.
