gitHubLatestRelease owner-repo

gitHubLatestRelease calls the GitHub API to retrieve the latest release about the given owner-repo, returning structured data as defined by the GitHub Go API bindings.

Calls to gitHubLatestRelease are cached so calling gitHubLatestRelease with the same owner-repo will only result in one call to the GitHub API.

!!! example

```
{{ (gitHubLatestRelease "docker/compose").TagName }}
```

!!! hint

Some fields in the returned object have type `*string`. Use the
[`toString` template function][toString] to convert these to strings.
