如何通过命令行从最新版本下载 GitHub 资产？

Question

https://github.com/irssi/irssi/releases/latest

I would like to have a set of command line commands to download the latest version of the two files (*.tar.gz and *.patch). The filename of the.tar.gz archive changes with the releases version so I can't get a static path for the filename.

Powershell commands preferred.

I would use GNU Wget following way:

wget --recursive --level=1 --no-directories --accept-regex '(tar.gz|patch)$' https://github.com/irssi/irssi/releases/latest

which you should run in empty directory. Explanation: use recursive download option of wget with depth 1 (ie consider only links in page), do not create hierarchy mirroring that of site (ie put all in current working directory), look for links which do contain regular expression. Here $ denotes end of string and | denotes or , so its meaning is: links ending with tar.gz or patch

(tested in GNU Wget 1.20.3)
