glab-release: Download assets from a specific release.
$ glab release download ${tag}
try on your machine

The command "glab release download ${tag}" is possibly used in the context of the GitLab CLI (Command Line Interface). Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "glab": Refers to the GitLab CLI tool, which allows users to interact with GitLab repositories via the command line.
  • "release download": This is a specific action or command provided by the glab tool to download a release. It retrieves the files associated with a particular release in a repository.
  • "${tag}": Refers to a placeholder or variable. The user would replace "${tag}" with the desired release tag. A release tag is a unique identifier associated with a specific release version in a GitLab repository. It is often used for versioning purpose.

So, by executing this command with the desired release tag value, the glab tool will download the files associated with that particular release.
