+.SYNOPSIS
+    This Script is used as a target for the https://christitus.com/windev alias.
+    It queries the latest winget release (no matter if Pre-Release, Draft or Full Release) and invokes It
+.DESCRIPTION
+    This Script provides a simple way to always start the bleeding edge release even if it's not yet a full release.
+    This function should be run with administrative privileges.
+    Because this way of recursively invoking scripts via Invoke-Expression it might very well happen that AV Programs flag this because it's a common way of mulitstage exploits to run
+.EXAMPLE
+    irm https://christitus.com/windev | iex 
+    OR
+    Run in Admin Powershell >  ./windev.ps1
+#>

+# Function to fetch the latest release tag from the GitHub API

+        return $latestRelease.tag_name
