Most based opinion ever. I don’t understand why GitHub can’t have a dedicated “download” button; why they can’t put it right on the top of the page, and make it a requirement? I’m tired of having to hunt around for the “releases” section, assuming it’s even there to begin with (and half the time it isn’t)! Sometimes the developer buries the download button in the middle of the description instead, sometimes they don’t include it at all and expect you to compile it yourself. It’s inconsistent and bullshit.
GitHub is designed for sharing code. Executable downloads are not really supposed to be there, but small projects with no budget won’t put in the effort and money to host their own downloads on a separate website.

because in most cases, github is not for marketing its for source code. its why they make github pages if you don’t have a public facing domain.
