🌐 Web query:

According to the GitHub CLI documentation, does gh release upload --clobber remove release assets that are omitted from the upload command, or does it only overwrite assets with matching names?

💡 Result:

According to the GitHub CLI documentation, the --clobber flag does not remove all existing release assets; it only deletes and replaces existing assets that have matching names [1][2]. The documentation explicitly describes the functionality as: "Delete and re-upload existing assets of the same name" [1][3]. When you use this flag, the GitHub CLI identifies any existing assets in the release that share a name with the files you are currently uploading, deletes those specific existing assets, and then uploads the new files [1][4]. Assets already present in the release that do not match the names of the files being uploaded are unaffected. It is important to note that this process is not atomic. If the upload process is interrupted or fails after the existing assets have been deleted but before the new assets are successfully uploaded, the original assets will be lost [1][4]. Additionally, because the CLI performs a name-matching check on the client side, discrepancies between local filenames and the sanitized names processed by the GitHub platform (such as when filenames contain spaces or special characters) can occasionally cause the clobbering logic to fail [5].

In @.github/workflows/nightly-installers.yml around lines 291 - 294, Update the
nightly release upload flow around gh release upload so assets from the previous
release that are absent from the current STAGING_DIR are deleted, while current
staged assets are uploaded or replaced. Add a regression test covering an
optional platform failure and verifying the stale asset is removed in
tests/nightly-installers-workflow.test.ts lines 52-60; modify both affected
sites as needed.
