+And `release-gitter` will get the release version from the `Cargo.toml`, get the URL from the `git remote`, call the Github API and look for a release matching the templated file name, extract the `stylua` file from the archive, and then make it executable. Alternatively, if you're project `--version-git-tag` can be used to pull the version from the latest tag. This will automatically do a shallow fetch (depth = 1), but this can be supressed with `--version-git-no-fetch`.
 
 This allows a single command to be run from a checked out repo from pre-commit on any system to fetch the appropriate binary.
