HTTPie on Chocolatey

Welcome to the documentation about packaging HTTPie for Chocolatey.

• If you do not know HTTPie, have a look here.
• If you are looking for HTTPie installation or upgrade instructions on Chocolatey, then you can find them on that page.
• If you are looking for technical information about the HTTPie packaging on Chocolatey, then you are in a good place.

About

This document contains technical details, where we describe how to create a patch for the latest HTTPie version for Chocolatey. We will discuss setting up the environment, installing development tools, installing and testing changes before submitting a patch downstream.

Overall process

After having successfully built and tested the package, either trigger the Release on Chocolatey action to push it to the Chocolatey store or use the CLI:

# Replace 2.5.0 with the correct version
choco push httpie.2.5.0.nupkg -s https://push.chocolatey.org/ --api-key=API_KEY

Be aware that it might take multiple days until the release is approved, sine it goes through multiple sets of reviews (some of them are done manually).
