# vcpkg_from_github
|
|
|
|
Download and extract a project from GitHub. Enables support for `install --head`.
|
|
|
|
## Usage:
|
|
```cmake
|
|
vcpkg_from_github(
|
|
OUT_SOURCE_PATH <SOURCE_PATH>
|
|
REPO <Microsoft/cpprestsdk>
|
|
[REF <v2.0.0>]
|
|
[SHA512 <45d0d7f8cc350...>]
|
|
[HEAD_REF <master>]
|
|
[PATCHES <patch1.patch> <patch2.patch>...]
|
|
[GITHUB_HOST <https://github.com>]
|
|
[AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN <${SECRET_FROM_FILE}>]
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Parameters:
|
|
### OUT_SOURCE_PATH
|
|
Specifies the out-variable that will contain the extracted location.
|
|
|
|
This should be set to `SOURCE_PATH` by convention.
|
|
|
|
### REPO
|
|
The organization or user and repository on GitHub.
|
|
|
|
### REF
|
|
A stable git commit-ish (ideally a tag or commit) that will not change contents. **This should not be a branch.**
|
|
|
|
For repositories without official releases, this can be set to the full commit id of the current latest master.
|
|
|
|
If `REF` is specified, `SHA512` must also be specified.
|
|
|
|
### SHA512
|
|
The SHA512 hash that should match the archive (https://github.com/${REPO}/archive/${REF}.tar.gz).
|
|
|
|
This is most easily determined by first setting it to `1`, then trying to build the port. The error message will contain the full hash, which can be copied back into the portfile.
|
|
|
|
### HEAD_REF
|
|
The unstable git commit-ish (ideally a branch) to pull for `--head` builds.
|
|
|
|
For most projects, this should be `master`. The chosen branch should be one that is expected to be always buildable on all supported platforms.
|
|
|
|
### PATCHES
|
|
A list of patches to be applied to the extracted sources.
|
|
|
|
Relative paths are based on the port directory.
|
|
|
|
### GITHUB_HOST
|
|
A replacement host for enterprise GitHub instances.
|
|
|
|
This field should contain the scheme, host, and port of the desired URL without a trailing slash.
|
|
|
|
### AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN
|
|
A token to be passed via the Authorization HTTP header as "token ${AUTHORIZATION_TOKEN}".
|
|
|
|
## Notes:
|
|
At least one of `REF` and `HEAD_REF` must be specified, however it is preferable for both to be present.
|
|
|
|
This exports the `VCPKG_HEAD_VERSION` variable during head builds.
|
|
