# GitHub Release Tag Fetcher
A lightweight Python utility to fetch the **latest GitHub release tag** from a repository, with optional filtering to **exclude releases that contain specific file types** (e.g., `.apk`, `.aab`).
Ideal for deployment pipelines or automation scripts where only clean releases are required.
---
## ✅ Features
- Fetch the latest release from any GitHub repository.
- Skip releases that include disallowed asset types.
- Write the valid release tag to a file.
- Configurable via environment variables.
- Clean logging with [loguru](https://github.com/Delgan/loguru).
