gh-attestation-download - Download an artifact's attestations for offline use

gh attestation download [<file-path> | oci://<image-uri>] [--owner | --repo] [flags]

Download attestations associated with an artifact for offline use.

The command requires either: * a file path to an artifact, or * a container image URI (e.g. oci://<image-uri>)
* (note that if you provide an OCI URL, you must already be authenticated with its container registry)

In addition, the command requires either: * the --repo flag (e.g. --repo github/example). * the --owner flag (e.g. --owner github), or

The --repo flag value must match the name of the GitHub repository that the artifact is linked with.

The --owner flag value must match the name of the GitHub organization that the artifact's linked repository belongs to.

Any associated bundle(s) will be written to a file in the current directory named after the artifact's digest. For example, if the digest is "sha256:1234", the file will be named "sha256:1234.jsonl".

Colons are special characters on Windows and cannot be used in file names. To accommodate, a dash will be used to separate the algorithm from the digest in the attestations file name. For example, if the digest is "sha256:1234", the file will be named "sha256-1234.jsonl".

The algorithm used to compute a digest of the artifact: {sha256|sha512}
