A library for Qt5 that uses the GitHub API to provide information about tags.

QGitTag

QGitTag is a library for Qt5 that uses the GitHub API to provide information about releases that can be used to check for updates.

Example:

QCoreApplication app(argc, argv);
QCoreApplication::setApplicationVersion("0.9.0");

QGitTag tag;
tag.get("crow-translate", "Crow-Translate")
connect(&tag, &QGitTag::finished, [&tag] {
    QTextStream out(stdout);
    if (tag.tagName() >= QCoreApplication::applicationVersion())
        out << "Update available: " + tag.url().toString() << endl;
});

return QCoreApplication::exec()

For real example of usage you can look into my other project: Crow Translate.
