-f, --file= glob to select files for extraction
--all extract all candidate files
-q, --quiet only print essential output
-d, --download-only stop after downloading the asset (no extraction)
--upgrade-only only download if release is more recent than current version
-a, --asset= download a specific asset containing the given string; can be specified multiple times for additional filtering; use ^ for anti-match
