Idea to pull from github

I haven’t tested this, but I believe you can already do this today, albeit there is opportunity for a deeper integration.

First though… Github or just GIT for that matter, should not be the place to store binaries. That would be better served in a binary repo like Artifactory. This is something I have been intending to look at for our package source, but just haven’t been able to prioritize the time.

If the thought is more to store scripts, etc in GIT, then I would agreed, this would be really ideal and something we have been/are interested in.

In theory… assuming you have a whitelisted the URL to GitHub/Git repo, I think it would be possible to use one of the download commands download the script and will then distribute through the relays. https://developer.bigfix.com/action-script/reference/download/
Prefetch in theory would work but you’ll need to get the hash and size after commiting the code to GIT as those values change I have found when you commit locally and then download from that repo.

Was not intending to be a binary pull. More along the lines of ascii text, typically scripts.
