Get the latest released agent service

[barnabaskugler]

Hi, we would like to have the latest released agent services downloaded all the time.
Now I see a discrepancy between Azure DevOps Services and the GitHub API result.

https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/releases/latest give back version 3.220.5 however from the Azure DevOps (https://dev.azure.com/), you can already download 3.224.1. https://vstsagentpackage.azureedge.net/agent/3.224.1/vsts-agent-linux-x64-3.224.1.tar.gz

What is the procedure for having the latest tag on release?

Since Azure DevOps does not have any API for it, we rely on this one - https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/releases/latest

For pipelines-agent-linux-x64
If you need another version - change to the required one

curl https://api.github.com/repos/Microsoft/azure-pipelines-agent/releases/latest | grep -oP 'http\S+?pipelines-agent-linux-x64\S+?\.tar\.gz' | curl $(cat) -o agent.tar.gz
