This repository is a fork of the official Nuts repository. We adapted it to support .pkg release files on osx to suit our needs for an more advanced installer.
In order to run the scripts dev-pipeline and prod-pipeline, you need to create a file setup-env.sh with the following content:
export GITHUB_REPO="$1"
export GITHUB_TOKEN="insert the github token here"
IMPORTANT: Make sure to never push the GITHUB_TOKEN to this repository on Github (as long at it is public) because then Github will revoke the token for safety reasons.
Nuts is a simple (and smart) application to serve desktop-application releases.
It uses GitHub as a backend to store assets, and it can easily be deployed to Heroku as a stateless service. It supports GitHub private repositories (useful to store releases of a closed-source application available on GitHub).
