How to get the latest DefinitelyTyped for a specific version of a tool in github

Question

Sorry, maybe this is a simple question, but how can you get the latest version of DefinitelyTyped for a specific version of a tool on GitHub?

In NuGet, DefinitelyTyped points to jQuery version 2.4.X, but I want use version 3.1.1 instead. https://www.nuget.org/packages/jquery.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped/

I went straight to GitHub to get the latest version—version 3.1.1, but I wasn't able to find it. https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tree/master/types/jquery

According to the page in the Nuget Gallery, that the package was generated from commit: 2c65d5ca7267fda6d49a3b447c8b089632fb5358

You can view the filesystem of the plugin at that commit here.

Just clone the repository and checkout that commit.

git checkout 2c65d5ca726

This will detach the head and give a nasty looking warning, but it's ok. To get out of the detached head state, just run git checkout master
