PowerShell Snippets: Use Curl

The following PowerShell command will execute curl passing in the authorization token and json parameters defined above the curl statement.

The main difference between this and curl on a normal command line is that you need to do curl.exe which is a built in alias for the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet:

$ghAuthorizationToken = "ghp_authorizationtoken"

$ghUser = "username"

$ghRepo = "repository name"
$json = "

    { \`"tag_name\`": \`"$ghTag\`", \`"target_commitish\`": \`"main\`", \`"name\`": \`"$ghTag\`", \`"body\`": \`"$ghTag release\`", \`"draft\`" :false, \`"prerelease\`": false, \`"generate_release_notes\`": false }

"
curl.exe -X POST -H "Accept: application/vnd.github+json" -H "Authorization: token $ghAuthorizationToken" https://api.github.com/repos/$ghUser/$ghRepo/releases -d "$json"

The variables at the top need to be changed to those for your GitHub account and repository.
