Feature description
Hey,
i wanted to fully automate my Update Script.
Is there any direct url that always redirects to the latest available dev build?
For now its: https://ci.ender.zone/job/EssentialsX/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/jars/EssentialsX-2.20.0-dev+45-bf14b88.jar
It would be nice to have:
https://ci.ender.zone/job/EssentialsX/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/jars/EssentialsX-dev+latest.jar
as well.
How the feature is useful
For update scripts
Take a look here
https://github.com/EssentialsX/Essentials/actions
You could build a REST api that will grab the latest action every hour, download its artifacts and then when you want to download the latest jars, you access the endpoint that does so.
Here's Github's API documentation for Artifacts

We don't intend to make any changes to facilitate automatic updates. You should review changes in dev builds before you run them, or wait for the stable releases and review the full changelogs.
