I am trying to call the contents of a PS1, as raw, in Powershell out of Github. In GitLab this is doable by calling the following:
https://gitlab.com/USER/PRIVATEREPOS/raw/master/FileShares/SCRIPT.ps1?private_token=TOKENHERE
I am hoping there is a similar way to do this with GitHub - I've tried numerous things but none have worked. Any help would be appreciated.
You could try a similar URL, but using:
That should serve the raw content of that ps1 script.
This is done by getting to the same resources via a different url - raw.githubusercontent.com (hosted by github not a third-party). If it is a private repository, you'll need:
To jump straight to the PowerShell code needed, it would be-
$baseurl = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yourproject/subdir/master"
$tokenheaders = @{"Authorization"="token tokenyougeneratedforprivateprojectaccess";"Accept"= "application/vnd.github.v3.raw"}
$scripturl="$baseurl/yourscript.ps1"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $scripturl -Headers $tokenheaders -UseBasicParsing |Select-Object -ExpandProperty Content
This will get you the raw code, not a file, and this is using the deprecated v3 of the api, not v4 (but is still working for me as of this writing and should for at least a few more years).
