Shell command one-liner - To get latest or highest release from GitHub

One-liner to retrieve latest highest release (of a specific major version) from GitHub

Just retrieving the latest release may not what you want - An LTS v1.1.20 maybe released after another LTS v2.0.10

Get highest available version

Example to get highest version, not just latest - because an LTS bugfix 1.2.3 could be released after a new major 3.x version
