It can lookup the latest version, or download a specific tag. Usage Grab the Latest Version Grab the Latest PreRelease Version Grab Specific Tags Verify Download Integrity When the upstream project publishes stable release digests, pass digest so the action verifies the downloaded asset before extracting or installing it. Grab a Specific Platform And/Or Architecture Grab from a private repository Use a repo scoped Personal Access Token (PAT) that has been created on a user with access to the private repository. Caching This action can use actions/cache under the hood. Caching needs to be enabled explicitly and only works for specific tags.
