The Button Element allows you to create different colored buttons. These are typically used to link to a downloadable media file, or to send someone to another site like Github.

First type in what you want the button to say, and then enter a link. You can choose between multiple button colors. Choose wisely! Here is an example of what buttons look like:

Github Latest Release Links

The button element has one further feature that allows it to process release links for github releases. If you provide it with a fairly specific url, and then maintain consistency in naming your releases, it will always link to the latest version in your github repository.

The link structure is as follows:

https://github.com/{organization}/{repository}/releases/latest/{filename}{wildcard in place of version}.{extension}

Example:

https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython/releases/latest/adafruit-circuitpython-arduino_zero-*.bin

The extension is optional, but the wildcard for the version is required.
