Enhance Get-GitHubRepositoryTag cmdlet by providing ability to filter results by TagName

[HowardWolosky]

Thanks for the suggestion, Tristan. The beauty of PowerShell is how easily it lets you process data through piping. In this case, the way to achieve what you want is to filter the results through Where-Object afterwards. Example:

Get-GitHubRepositoryTag -OwnerName PowerShell -RepositoryName PowerShellForGitHub | Where-Object { $_.name -like '0.3.*' }

Given that this can be done naturally through PowerShell via post-processing, it's not something that makes sense to add explicitly to the function itself.

Thanks!

To even more closely match your explicit request:

$tagNames = @('0.3.0', '0.2.0')
$tags = Get-GitHubRepositoryTag -OwnerName PowerShell -RepositoryName PowerShellForGitHub
$tags | Where-Object { $_.name -in $tagNames }
