Failing to upload with ~

[philippemnoel]

Hi,

I'd like to name the asset I upload to my GitHub Release something~jammy_amd64.deb. When I try to get the ~ to show, it always replaces it. I've tried escaping the character, URL encoding, not escaping, double quotes, nothing is wroking. Is it possible to upload a reset with this character not being replaced/removed?

Thank you for using my action.

Is it possible to upload a reset with this character not being replaced/removed?

No. It is a specification of the GitHub API.

https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/assets?apiVersion=2022-11-28#upload-a-release-asset
GitHub renames asset filenames that have special characters,
non-alphanumeric characters, and leading or trailing periods.
The "List assets for a release" endpoint lists the renamed filenames.
