We only need to fetch all tags/releases once, after that we have a specific version/tag and should after only fetch the data for that.

To fetch the release for a specific GitHub tag, you can use the GitHub API. Specifically, you can make a GET request to the GitHub API's "Releases" endpoint for the repository associated with the tag you're interested in.

Here's a concise explanation of the steps:

Compose the API endpoint URL for the specific repository and tag you want to fetch. The URL format will be: https://api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases/tags/{tag}.
Make a GET request to the constructed URL using your preferred programming language or tool. This request will return the release information associated with the specified tag.
The API response will be in JSON format, containing details such as the release name, description, assets (if any), and other relevant information.
By following these steps, you'll be able to fetch the release details for the specific GitHub tag you're interested in. As an experienced software engineer, you might be able to integrate this functionality into your projects or tools.
