Extracts the release history of public GitHub repositories via the official
REST API (api.github.com/repos/{owner}/{repo}/releases) — no API key needed.
Each item is one release: tag, title, publish date, prerelease/draft flags, author, release-notes excerpt, tarball/zipball links, and the full list of binary assets with file size, content type, individual download counts and a per-release totalDownloads sum — great for tracking adoption of CLI tools and desktop apps.
