get latest version

[benriou]

Suggests a way to retrieve the latest version (useful for CI in example)

[ekristen]

I appreciate the contribution. If I am going to include something like this I'd like it to be a bit more universal or have an example for all OS types.

I do build and publish docker images, any reason not using those in CI/CD?

I am updating my documentation to show https://dist.sh as a preferred installation method soon.

Ok, thanks for your feedback.

We'll consider using the docker version, but correct me if I'm wrong, there is no 'latest' tag being pushed.

If I want to retrieve the latest aws-nuke published version, I still need to perform a GitHub API call to retrieve the latest release being published.

@benriou fair enough there is no latest tag right now. I might be willing to change that. What's your use case if you don't mind? I'd like to get some additional information to figure out the best solution here. I'm open to doing something to make this easier.

[benriou]

My use-case is to always retrieve the latest version of aws-nuke when I start a task via a CI to clean-up a test account.
I want to use the latest version to take advantage of any resources added on the latest versions.

With the solution shown on the PR, I acheive this succesfully.

@benriou what CI are you using?
