One GitHub repository's facts, then its latest releases: the first row is the repository (stars, forks, open issues, language, license, topics, homepage, created and last push), the rows after it are releases (tag, published, the first 300 characters of the notes). repo is owner/name or the repository URL; releases caps the release rows (0 for none).
