Description
Description
Please add support for downloading files from GitHub releases(i.e. download Paket 6.0.7's files). I figured since downloading from Gists is already possible, downloading files from GitHub releases can be added too.
Repro steps
N/A
Expected behavior
A similar syntax to adding gist dependencies
Actual behavior
Not implemented
Known workarounds
Use HTTP dependencies, although they don't work for private repositories
Thanks for the amazing project btw!

Research direction
Start by locating the existing gist dependency support and compare it with the HTTP dependency path. Define how GitHub release files, including files from private repositories, should be referenced; the work is done when release downloads support the requested syntax and the private-repository limitation is addressed.
