Something like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17414104/git-checkout-latest-tag

Purpose:
Use a Github schedule action that checkouts the latest tag and build from it.
As in our case the default branch could not have stable commits, it would be better to run from the last created tag (so release)

I would love that feature like oprypin/find-latest-tag ❤
Don't even know why it's not already implemented 😅

Keep in mind that sometimes "stable" tags are being marked as prereleases in GitHub though (aka "not yet officially released despite the new stable tag")... so SemVer isn't always used like intended, everything is final but not everyone should update immediately.
