Where to get MD5 hashes from a GitHub release?

I am looking to get the MD5 hash for a tar.gz GitHub release from here: https://github.com/jbeder/yaml-cpp/releases

Would like to use it in my CMake. Does anyone know where I can get it? I could not find much of a solution through Google.

Solution

  • If GitHub wanted to provide this information, I would expect it to be provided in the API. The GitHub API doesn't currently provide this information. If they did, I would expect it to be here: https://api.github.com/repos/jbeder/yaml-cpp/releases/latest

    More info: https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/releases/#list-assets-for-a-release

    If you'd like the feature added, you could get in contact with @github. You could send them an email.
