github_release

`!github_release`

Category: integrations

Query the GitHub release API and store the best-matching release version (semver-parsed) into a host variable. Passive — resolves and records the version string, does not download assets.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`repo`	string	yes	GitHub repo in owner/name form (e.g. ipfs/kubo).
`channel`	string	no	Release channel: stable/latest (non-prerelease), unstable (prereleases), prerelease (smart: prefers stable of same version over its RC), any. Default latest.
`version_filter`	string	no	Cargo-style semver requirement to constrain candidates (e.g. ^18.0.0, >=2.0.0).
`save`	string	no	Host-fact var name to write the resolved version into (use save XOR set).
`set`	string	no	Magic var name to write the resolved version into (use set XOR save).
