Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by locating the GitHub asset download entry point and the code that builds the current file_cache_path-based destination; trace how resource options are defined. Done means callers can configure the download path instead of using the fixed default, with the existing behavior preserved when no path is supplied.

Description

Feature Request

I wish to have the ability to set the path the asset is downloaded to, rather than the default #{Chef::Config['file_cache_path']}/github_assets/org/project/release_tag/asset_name
