Use Latest release #91

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe the problem you're trying to solve.

I'd like to specify to always use the latest tagged release of a theme. Right now I can only specify a particular release (v2.1.1) or just let it load the latest build, which is often broken.

Describe the solution you'd like

theme@latest would get the latest tagged release.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Updating the config file every time the theme version changes (which is a real pain)

@datapolitical Hey, the way this works for GitHub Actions is a good guide here. What they do, is they have @v2 as a branch, then merge changes into that branch and tag as they need to. So a tag/release v2.1.1 would be a specific SHA-1 on the v2 branch. Since jekyll-remote-theme will use any reference, I'd suggest using a latest branch here and merging changes into that branch in order to release!
