+/**
+  @file
+  @brief Pulls latest release info from a GIT repository
+  @details Useful for grabbing the latest version number or other attributes
+  from a GIT server.  Supported providers are GitLab and GitHub. Pull requests
+  are welcome if you'd like to see additional providers!
+
+  Note that each provider provides slightly different JSON output.  Therefore
+  the macro simply extracts the JSON and assigns the libname (using the JSON
+  engine).
+
+  Example usage (eg, to grab latest release version from github):
+
+      %mp_gitreleaseinfo(GITHUB,sasjs/core,outlib=mylibref)
+
+      data _null_;
+        set mylibref.root;
+        putlog TAG_NAME=;
+      run;
+
+  @param [in] provider The GIT provider for the release info.  Accepted values:
+    @li GITLAB
+    @li GITHUB - Tables include root, assets, author, alldata
+  @param [in] project The link to the repository.  This has different formats
+    depending on the vendor:
+    @li GITHUB - org/repo, eg sasjs/core
+    @li GITLAB - project, eg 1343223
+  @param [in] server= (0) If your repo is self-hosted, then provide the domain
+    here.  Otherwise it will default to the provider domain (eg gitlab.com).
+  @param [in] mdebug= (0) Set to 1 to enable DEBUG messages
+  @param [out] outlib= (GITREL) The JSON-engine libref to be created, which will
+    point at the returned JSON
