Feature Request: Ability to `rename` and`chmod` resultant file #41

Open osterman opened 6 years ago

osterman commented 6 years ago

what

I wish that we could specify the octal mode of the file download from the github release
I wish that we could specify the destination name

why

So that I can set the execution bit (E.g. 0755) without calling chmod explicitly
Extremely common usage pattern is to download binary releases of apps (e.g. fetch) and then run them

example interface

fetch --repo https://github.com/gruntwork-io/fetch \
      --tag=v0.2.0 \
      --release-asset=fetch_darwin_amd64 \
      --asset-name=fetch \
      --asset-file-mode=0755 \
        /usr/local/bin

--asset-file-mode and --asset-file-destination both sound like a great idea for optional params. We'd welcome a PR to add those!
