Travis CI Encryption for Windows Programmers - easier way needed. #72

Closed rgleason closed 4 years ago

rgleason commented 4 years ago

We need to find an easier way to use the github personnal token in travis to enable deployment to github releases.

Currently the github personal token must be encrypted by Travis CI using gem and a linux environment probably running in a virtualbox using: [insert email@email]>-VirtualBox:~$ echo [insert plugin-github-personnal token] | travis encrypt -r [insert user]/tactics_pi --org

This means a windows developer will have to install additional software on a virtualbox in order to create the encryption.

We need an easier way! Appveyor as an example, does not require encryption, however they provide a simple online encryption tool.

Would this method be acceptable and work more easily under windows? Step-by-step example with HTTPS API Token in environment variable

rgleason commented 4 years ago

Use of the website technique might be an alternative, but I have not found an alternative in the travis ci web interface that does not require use of encryption.

Closing this.
