This simulates what I came up with in my actual code:

You can also:

curl https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/api/v4/projects/67/repository/commits | jq '.[] | .title'

... but you're pulling information out of a commit message, which is really unpredictable.  There's probably a better option, but I don't know what to suggest because I don't know why that version is important to you.

Hi Gordan,

I wrote a program to go out to web pages and check
revisions on about 70 programs that I support at
my customer sites. If the revision has increased, I
download the newer version and remove the older
version (after a sanity check,of course). Spice
guest tool is one of them.

https://www.spice-space.org/download/windows/spice-guest-tools/spice-guest-tools-latest.exe

With a web browser, you can see the revision
    https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/spice/win32/spice-nsis/-/tree/master
but right pane is dynamically generated and curl can
only see the left column.  They make it difficult
to know what the current revision is using curl.

The one liner is an analog of what exists in greater
detail in my code.
