try on your machine

This command is using the GitHub CLI (command-line interface) to make a request to the GitHub API to retrieve the releases of a specific repository owned by a specific owner.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

gh: This is the command for the GitHub CLI.
api: This is a subcommand of gh used to interact with the GitHub API.
repos/:owner/:repo/releases: This is the API endpoint being accessed. It specifies that we want to retrieve the releases of a repository indicated by :repo owned by :owner. The :owner and :repo are placeholders that should be replaced with the actual values when executing the command.

Overall, this command allows you to quickly fetch the releases of a GitHub repository through the terminal, leveraging the GitHub CLI and GitHub API.
