✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the deal: this command verifies that a GitHub Release is accompanied by a valid cryptographically signed attestation. No cap. 🔥

An attestation is, literally, a claim made by GitHub regarding a release and its assets — it's giving receipts but make them cryptographic 💅

This command checks that the specified release (or the latest release, if no tag is given) has a valid attestation. It fetches the attestation for the release and prints metadata about all assets referenced in the attestation, including their digests. Obsessed. 🎀

• -q, --jq <expression> — filter the JSON output using a jq expression, iykyk 🧚
• -t, --template <string> — format the JSON output using a Go template; peep gh help formatting for the deets 🌸
