title: Find and display latest version number of Github repo on external site?
body: <p>I was hoping that I could display a nice download button on my WordPress site to a GitHub repository and include the version number in the text, eg: "Download (v1.2)" but am unsure as to where I can pull that version data from on the public side.</p>
  
  <p>If nothing else, last commit date or something would be helpful too.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
