Is a `<release_id>` version specification supposed to mean its title or name?

[T145]

It's not quite clear what a <release_id> is supposed to mean, considering it defaults to a latest version and takes other tag specifications.

I'm guessing the answer is "yes" from the context given here: https://github.com/dsaltares/fetch-gh-release-asset#name=

[dsaltares]

It's the release_id specified in the API here https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases#get-a-release.

For example:

curl -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" https://api.github.com/repos/dsaltares/fetch-gh-release-asset/releases

Yields (just showing the latest release):
