Sure thing, it's pretty simple and straightforward I can post right here. In your CI/CD runner, you add a "before" script like so (Gitlab YAML example):

    image: debian:latest

    before_script:
        - bash myscript.sh

Your myscript.sh can be as simple as four lines (one to install curl, it's not a default on Debian), example:

    apt-get -y install curl
    VERSION=$(curl -s "https://api.github.com/repos/jgm/pandoc/releases/latest" | grep -Po '"tag_name": "\K.*?(?=")')
    curl -sLo "pandoc-${VERSION}-1-amd64.deb" "https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/download/${VERSION}/pandoc-${VERSION}-1-amd64.deb"
    apt-get -y install "./pandoc-${VERSION}-1-amd64.deb"

The Github API used above has the nice default of listing the latest release as you see used there in the grep on the right, one could enhance that with `jq` for higher intelligence but this very simple setup is functional as a starting point to develop your own style.
