Linking to the latest release

You can share a link to the latest release for a repository by adding releases/latest to the end of a repository's URL. For example, the URL for the latest release of octo-org/octo-repo is https://HOSTNAME/octo-org/octo-repo/releases/latest.

To link directly to a download of your latest release asset that was manually uploaded, the suffix is /releases/latest/download/asset-name.zip.
