Github Release Fetcher is a Python script that retrieves a list of files/assets for a given GitHub repository release and optionally downloads them.

If a specific release is not provided, the script defaults to the latest release.

It supports filtering files using --include and --exclude, resuming interrupted downloads, and verifies downloaded file sizes by comparing with the release manifest as a simple sanity check.

• Fetch Release Assets: Retrieve a list of files/assets for a GitHub repository release.
• Download Files: Optionally download the files to a specified directory.
• Filter Files: Use --include to download only specific files or --exclude to skip certain files.
• Resume Downloads: Supports resuming interrupted downloads.
• File Size Verification: Compares downloaded file sizes with the release manifest to help ensure integrity.
• Human-Readable Output: Displays file sizes in a human-readable format (e.g., KB, MB, GB).
