| 141 | 4. **GitHub returns** latest release data |
| 142 | 5. **API parses** assets and detects platforms |
| 143 | 6. **API returns** structured download links |
| 144 | 7. **Page displays** download buttons |
| 145 | 8. **User clicks** download |
| 146 | 9. **API proxies** download with GitHub auth |
| 147 | 10. **User receives** file |
| 148 | |

| 208 | |
| 209 | ## Usage |
| 210 | |
| 211 | ### Creating Releases |
| 212 | |
| 213 | 1. **Build your desktop apps** (macOS, Windows, Linux) |
| 214 | |
| 215 | 2. **Name files consistently**: |
| 216 | ``` |
| 217 | pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-macos-arm64.dmg |
| 218 | pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-macos-x64.dmg |
| 219 | pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-windows-x64.exe |
| 220 | pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-linux-x64.AppImage |
| 221 | ``` |
| 222 | |
| 223 | 3. **Create GitHub release**: |
| 224 | ```bash |
| 225 | # Via GitHub web interface |
| 226 | # Or via gh CLI: |
| 227 | gh release create v1.0.0 \ |
| 228 | dist/*.dmg \ |
| 229 | dist/*.exe \ |
| 230 | dist/*.AppImage \ |
| 231 | --title "Release 1.0.0" \ |
| 232 | --notes "Release notes here" |
| 233 | ``` |
| 234 | |
| 235 | ### File Naming Convention |
| 236 | |
| 237 | Format: `{app}-{version}-{platform}-{arch}.{ext}` |
| 238 | |
| 239 | **Examples**: |
| 240 | - ✅ `pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-macos-arm64.dmg` |
| 241 | - ✅ `pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-macos-x64.dmg` |
| 242 | - ✅ `pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-windows-x64.exe` |
| 243 | - ✅ `pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-windows-x64.msi` |
| 244 | - ✅ `pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-linux-x64.AppImage` |
| 245 | - ✅ `pepakbasajawa-1.0.0-linux-x64.deb` |
| 246 | - ❌ `app.dmg` (too generic) |
| 247 | - ❌ `release-v1.exe` (no platform info) |
| 248 | |
| 249 | ## Configuration |
| 250 | |
| 251 | ### Adjust Cache Duration |
| 252 | |
| 253 | Edit `/src/pages/api/download-desktop-app.ts`: |
| 254 | |
| 255 | ```typescript |
| 256 | return new Response(JSON.stringify(responseData), { |
| 257 | status: 200, |
| 258 | headers: { |
| 259 | 'Content-Type': 'application/json', |
| 260 | 'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=300' // ← Change 300 to desired seconds |
| 261 | } |
| 262 | }) |
| 263 | ``` |
| 264 | |
| 265 | ### Change Repository |
| 266 | |
| 267 | Edit `/src/pages/api/download-desktop-app.ts`: |
| 268 | |
| 269 | ```typescript |
| 270 | const GITHUB_REPO = 'setoelkahfi/pepakbasajawa' // ← Change to your repo |
| 271 | ``` |
| 272 | |
| 273 | ### Customize Platform Detection |
| 274 | |
| 275 | Edit `/src/types/github-releases.ts`: |
| 276 | |
| 277 | ```typescript |
| 278 | export const PLATFORM_PATTERNS = { |
| 279 | macOS: { |
| 280 | keywords: ['mac', 'darwin'], // ← Add more keywords |
| 281 | extensions: ['.dmg', '.pkg'], |
| 282 | // ... |
| 283 | } |
| 284 | } |
| 285 | ``` |

| 425 | ``` |
| 426 | |
| 427 | ## Troubleshooting |
| 428 | |
| 429 | ### Common Issues |
| 430 | |
| 431 | #### 1. "GITHUB_TOKEN is not configured" |
| 432 | |
| 433 | **Symptoms**: API returns 500 error |
| 434 | **Solutions**: |
| 435 | - Check `.env` file exists and contains token |
| 436 | - Verify token is not empty or commented out |
| 437 | - Restart dev server after adding token |
| 438 | - In production, check environment variables in hosting dashboard |
| 439 | |
| 440 | ```bash |
| 441 | # Verify token is loaded |
| 442 | cat .env | grep GITHUB_TOKEN |
| 443 | |
| 444 | # Restart server |
| 445 | npm run dev |
| 446 | ``` |
| 447 | |
| 448 | #### 2. "Failed to fetch releases" |
| 449 | |
| 450 | **Symptoms**: API returns error or 404 |
| 451 | **Solutions**: |
| 452 | - Verify token has correct permissions (`repo` scope) |
| 453 | - Check token hasn't expired |
| 454 | - Confirm repository name is correct |
| 455 | - Ensure at least one release exists |
| 456 | |
| 457 | ```bash |
| 458 | # Test token manually |
| 459 | curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $GITHUB_TOKEN" \ |
| 460 | https://api.github.com/repos/setoelkahfi/pepakbasajawa/releases/latest |
| 461 | ``` |
| 462 | |
| 463 | #### 3. No downloads showing on page |
| 464 | |
| 465 | **Symptoms**: Page loads but no desktop downloads appear |
| 466 | **Solutions**: |
| 467 | - Check browser console for errors |
| 468 | - Verify release is marked as "latest" (not draft) |
| 469 | - Ensure release has uploaded assets |
| 470 | - Run `npm run test:releases` to debug |
| 471 | |
| 472 | #### 4. Downloads not detected correctly |
| 473 | |
| 474 | **Symptoms**: Files show as "Unknown" platform |
| 475 | **Solutions**: |
| 476 | - Check filename follows naming convention |
| 477 | - Add platform keywords to filename |
| 478 | - Verify file extension is standard (.dmg, .exe, .AppImage) |
| 479 | - Update detection patterns if needed |
| 480 | |
| 481 | #### 5. Rate limit exceeded |
| 482 | |
| 483 | **Symptoms**: API returns 403 after many requests |
| 484 | **Solutions**: |
| 485 | - Authenticated limit is 5,000/hour (should be plenty) |
| 486 | - Check cache is working (5-minute default) |
| 487 | - Monitor rate limit: `curl https://api.github.com/rate_limit` |
| 488 | - Consider increasing cache duration |
| 489 | |
| 490 | ## Best Practices |
| 491 | |
| 492 | ### Security |
| 493 | |
| 494 | 1. **Never commit tokens** |
| 495 | - Add `.env` to `.gitignore` |
| 496 | - Use environment variables |
| 497 | - Rotate tokens regularly |
| 498 | |
| 499 | 2. **Use fine-grained tokens** |
| 500 | - Limit scope to specific repository |
| 501 | - Read-only permissions |
| 502 | - Set expiration dates |
| 503 | |
| 504 | 3. **Monitor token usage** |
| 505 | - Check GitHub token logs |
| 506 | - Watch for suspicious activity |
| 507 | - Revoke compromised tokens immediately |
| 508 | |
| 509 | ### Release Management |
| 510 | |
| 511 | 1. **Consistent naming** |
| 512 | - Use version tags (v1.0.0) |
| 513 | - Follow semantic versioning |
| 514 | - Include platform in filename |
| 515 | |
| 516 | 2. **Complete releases** |
| 517 | - Build all platforms |
| 518 | - Test on each platform |
| 519 | - Include changelogs |
| 520 | |
| 521 | 3. **Automation** |
| 522 | - Use GitHub Actions for releases |
| 523 | - Automate builds |
| 524 | - Run tests before publishing |
| 525 | |
| 526 | ### Performance |
| 527 | |
| 528 | 1. **Caching** |
| 529 | - Keep 5-minute cache for balance |
| 530 | - Increase for stable releases |
| 531 | - Decrease for active development |
| 532 | |
| 533 | 2. **Asset optimization** |
| 534 | - Compress installers when possible |
| 535 | - Use appropriate formats |
| 536 | - Consider delta updates |
| 537 | |
| 538 | 3. **CDN** |
| 539 | - Consider CDN for large files |
| 540 | - GitHub provides good distribution |
| 541 | - Monitor download speeds |
