🚀 Release filename without version

Open mbologna opened this issue 4 months ago • 1 comments

Current state:

The release page offers packages that contain the version in the filename:

https://github.com/dandavison/delta/releases/ e.g. delta-0.16.5-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Wanted state:

The release page offers packages that do not contain the version in the filename. e.g. delta-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

Example: project that is not including version in filenames:

https://github.com/starship/starship/releases/latest

Why the change is sensible:

This is useful to be used in CI, because we fetch the latest version periodically and always obtain the latest version. e.g. https://github.com/starship/starship/releases/latest/download/starship-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz

I think about this. That is why I found myself here :) It would be nice to have an alias 'latest' which will point to the latest version
