Use Github as download "source"?

[aprakasa]

Is it possible to use Github as the download source (for non-WordPress repository)? If yes, how?
I have try this but didnt work:

array(
    'name'                  => 'Download From Github',
    'slug'                  => 'download-from-github',
    'source'                => 'https://github.com/SomeDude/download-from-github/archive/master.zip',
    'required'              => false,
    'version'               => '1.0',
    'force_activation'      => false,
    'force_deactivation'    => false,
    'external_url'          => 'https://github.com/SomeDude/download-from-github',
)

and this:

'source'   => 'https://nodeload.github.com/SomeDude/download-from-github/zip/master'

Thanks

I am not sure what your error/result was but normally the structure within the zip file from github is not compatible with the common wp structure.
Installing directly from github is not an easy task. There are some libraries on github that do that. just give it a search.

@AryaPrakasa For GitHub repositories which have their code in the repo root (not in a /src subdirectory or something), this should now be possible once PR #327 has been merged.

Use https://github.com/SomeDude/download-from-github/archive/master.zip as source or point to a release zip.
