By default, GitHub stores build logs and artifacts for 90 days, and you can customize this retention period, depending on the type of repository. For more information, see "Configuring the retention period for GitHub Actions artifacts and logs in your repository."
Download artifacts with the GitHub UI
Read access to the repository is required to perform these steps.
-
On GitHub, navigate to the main page of the repository.
-
Under your repository name, click Actions.
-
In the left sidebar, click the workflow you want to see.
-
From the list of workflow runs, click the name of the run you want to see.

Under Artifacts, click the artifact you want to download.
Download artifacts with GitHub CLI
For information on setting up GitHub CLI, see "Managing GitHub Actions with GitHub CLI."
GitHub CLI will download each artifact into separate directories based on the artifact name. If only a single artifact is specified, it will be extracted into the current directory.
To download all artifacts generated by a workflow run, use the run download
subcommand. Replace run-id
with the ID of the run that you want to download artifacts from. If you don't specify a run-id
, GitHub CLI returns an interactive menu for you to choose a recent run.
gh run download run-id
To download a specific artifact from a run, use the run download
subcommand. Replace run-id
with the ID of the run that you want to download artifacts from. Replace artifact-name
with the name of the artifact that you want to download.
gh run download run-id -n artifact-name
You can specify more than one artifact.
gh run download run-id -n artifact-name-1 -n artifact-name-2
To download specific artifacts across all runs in a repository, use the run download
subcommand.
gh run download -n artifact-name-1 -n artifact-name-2
