gh release download [<tag>] [flags]

Download the source code archive in the specified format (zip or tar.gz)
--clobber
Overwrite existing files of the same name
-D, --dir <directory> (default ".")
The directory to download files into
-O, --output <file>
The file to write a single asset to (use "-" to write to standard output)
-p, --pattern <stringArray>
Download only assets that match a glob pattern
--skip-existing
Skip downloading when files of the same name exist

Options inherited from parent commands

-R, --repo <[HOST/]OWNER/REPO>
Select another repository using the [HOST/]OWNER/REPO format
